Some events caused by plate movements include earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and the formation of mountains. As plates move, they can collide, pull apart, or slide past each other, creating tension and pressure that is released through seismic activity and volcanic activity. These movements also contribute to the formation of mountain ranges as the Earth's crust is compressed and uplifted.

What are some forces that can be caused by tectonic plates?

The thrusting up to form mountain ranges, as when India collided with Asia to form the Himalayas. The subduction of tectonic plates causing friction, melting of rock, and the forming of volcanoes. These are just two examples of the result of tectonic plates colliding.


What would happen on earth that would not happen on mars because there are no plate movements there?

I am not entirely sure but some events would be earthquakes, volcanoes, etc. There would be no way these things could happen without the movement of plates.

It is both because earthquakes are gecologic events.

What evidence reasoning to geologist use to support the idea that plates are moving?

It is no longer an idea for some time that plates are moving. It is a fact. Earthquakes and todays technology prove the fact that the earths plates are moving. Tsunamis are caused by earthquakes.


What are some causes of earthquakes?

If seen broadly we can say that earthquakes are caused due to two major reasons. The first reason is the eruption of volcanoes, which are sudden, and as is known volcanoes are seat of inner disturbance and can effect the plates which is the second cause of earthquakes. Earthquakes are caused due to disturbance in the movement of plates, which again can be caused due to various reasons like under crust waves or cracks in the plates.


How did Japan have this big earthquake 2011?

This horrible earthquake was caused by; tectonic plates, these plates were basically shoved under another plate which caused the earthquake. Some quakes move back and forth and some earthquakes; like this Japans move plates under other ones. The plates are called "The Ring of Fire" which circles around the Pacific ocean. Hawaii is smack in the middle of this ring plate. Japan's plates are 15 miles under the pacific ocean's sea floor. Please view the related source link for more explanations and photos.

What is the earthquake that results from the movement of plates?

All earthquakes are caused by the movements of plates (called tectonic plates). Sometimes two or more plates will get caught on each other while they are moving. When they stop being caught on each other, the resulting motion is what people call an earthquake. Some places (like the California area) more than others (most of the Midwest) are susceptible to frequent earthquakes. *Fun Fact: more people are killed after the earthquake (by fire and ruptured gas lines) than from the actual earthquake! - "The Janus List," NUMB3RS


Are tsunamis occur due to strong winds from the ocean?

While some Rogue Waves are caused form high winds, most of the time tsunamis are caused from seismic activities such as volcano eruptions, land slides, tectonic plates sliding against each other, earth quakes. and in events of hurricanes the winds can cause huge 50 foot swells that could be classed as tsunamis.
