Tectonic plates can include?
Tectonic plates can either be continental or oceanic.
Name two types of tectonic plates?
The two types of tectonic plates are continental and oceanic.
What is the difference between Continental plates and Tectonic plates?
Continental plates are tectonic plates. They are tectonic plates upon which continents rest, and they move as do all tectonic plates. Basically, there is no difference, other than the fact that oceanic plates are another type of tectonic plate.
Do tectonic plates make friction?
Friction itself is a naturally occurring force but yes, tectonic plates do encounter friction.
Who was the first person to discover continental drift and tectonic plates?
Alfred Wegener
Volcanoes are able to form in several different plate-tectonic settings?
The type of tectonics where volcanoes occur are continental rift volcanism, hot spot, and continental volcanic arc. The other tectonics are subduction zones and rift valleys on a continental crust.

Do tectonic plates consist of continental or oceanic crust?
They can be either continental or oceanic crust.
What pushes up continental crust?
the tectonic plates
What is the result of tectonic activity?
Tectonic activity has a number of consequences, which include continental drift, earthquakes, and volcanoes.
Do tectonic plates make friction?
Friction itself is a naturally occurring force but yes, tectonic plates do encounter friction.
What can tectonic plates also be called instead of tectonic plates?
Tectonic plates are also "Continental Crust" and "Oceanic Crust". Also lithospheric plates.
A slab of continental or oceanic crust is known as?
A tectonic plate.
