Large-scale deformation of the Earth's http://www.answers.com/topic/crust by natural processes, which leads to the formation of continents and ocean basins, mountain systems and rift valleys, and other features by mechanisms such as lithospheric plate movement (seehttp://www.answers.com/topic/plate-tectonics), volcanic loading, or folding. The study of diastrophism, or tectonic processes, is the central unifying principle in modern geology and geophysics. Kalra

What geological events occur at plate boundaries?
Technically mountains,earthquakes,volcanoes.......good luck
Why would there be a large number of natural disasters on the countrys where tectonic plates meet?
Tectonic plate movements are responsible for all earthquakes, and most volcanism and tsunami production on Earth. It's one of the hazards of living on a geologically active planet. Subduction zones, where the more dense plate dives under the lighter plate creates volcanism when the wet dense oceanic crust meets the hot plastic mantle.
What happened because of plate tectonics?
Plate tectonics result in changes in the relative positions of continents over time, volcanism, earthquakes, and mountain building.
What is a geological process?
A geological process is something which affects the earth and can be considered as earth forming or earth weathering. Examples of geological processes include: volcanism, glaciation, earthquakes, weathering etc.
What is a force that builds up features of the earths surface?
lava dried out makes rock that's one example
How volcanism causes earthquake?
volcanism can not cause earthquakes
Do earthquakes and volcanism affect each others plates?
yes they do if they occur in the same area.
What are the characteristics of divergent-boundary volcanoes and convergent boundary volcanoes?
Earthquakes, Formation Of New Crust and Volcanism
What caused many events of mountain building volcanism and earthquakes in western North America during the Cenozoic?
Plate interactions

What type of landforms or activity can be found at a convergent boundary?
You could find mountains, valleys, faults, subduction zones, trenches, or experience volcanism or earthquakes.
Why do earthquakes and volcanoes occur frequently in japan?
Because of it's location directly on what vulcanologist call the "Pacific ring of fire", a high volcanism and earthquake area.
Did Atlantis have a volcano?
Earthquakes were responsible for its demise, not Volcanism. At least this is the drift from the Platonic account. Tidal waves, shoals of muddled rock- well a gloomy picture.
Has St. Louis experienced any volcanism or seismic activity?
St. Louis has likely felt earthquakes from the New Madrid seismic zone, but there is no volcanic activity for hundreds of miles.
What has the author Jelle Zeilinga de Boer written?
