Do tsunamis have a connection to the movement of the earths plates?
yes, it does have connection of the earths plates because when two plates go together it burst water under the ocean
Earths lithosphere is broken into separate sections called?
It is broken into tectonic plates. Two types are the Continental Crust and the Oceanic Crust.
What are the subdivision of lithosphere?
Lithosphere is categorized into two sections. They are crust and upper most mantle. Crust includes continental and oceanic crust and technology.
What does the movement of plates cause on the earth?
Plate movement can cause one of three things: 1. Divergent boundaries: These are boundaries where two plates move apart. A divergent boundary will result in the uprising of magma from the mantle which creates new ocean floor. 2. Convergent boundaries: These occur where two plates move together. When this happens, oceanic lithosphere will be forced under the continental lithosphere, where it will eventually be re-absorbed into the mantle. Another outcome of convergent boundaries is the creation of mountains, which are created when two plates are both forced upward. 3. Transform fault boundaries: These occur when two plates grind against each other with producing or destroying lithosphere.
Why are mountains and earthquakes two geologic features found on earths surface that are caused by the movement of crustal plates?
They are geologic features because when the crustal plates move its makes cracks on earth the the mountains are one because everytime the crustal plates move it breaks the earths surface and the dirt and rocks start gathering together
What are two ways the movement of earths plates changes the earths surface?
Its Tectonic Activity

What can result from two plates in earths lithosphere colliding at a converging boundary?
mountains are made. from a fifth grader i look it up in my science book.

Describe two ways in which the movement of lithospheric plates can result in the formation of mountains?
When two lithosphere plates collide they crumple and push up, forming mountains also causing earthquakes.
Explain two ways that the movement of earths plates changes the surface of earth?
by rotation and also by erosition
What two parts of the earths Mantle?
The lithosphere and Asthephere
What are the two lithosphere plates called?
Continental and oceanic
What is the boundary formed by the collision of two lithosphere plates is?
convergent
What are the subdivision of lithosphere?
Lithosphere is categorized into two sections. They are crust and upper most mantle. Crust includes continental and oceanic crust and technology.
C There are two types of tectonic plates oceanic and continental what is the difference between these two types of plates?
The lithosphere displaces the asthenoshpere. Thick tectonic plates, such as those made of continental crust, displace more asthenosphere than do thin plates, such as those made of oceanic lithosphere.

What kinds of tectonic plates are there?
There are two kinds of plates- continental lithosphere and oceanic lithosphere. There are many types of plate boundaries, like convergent, divergent, transform, and more. Continental lithosphere is granite and oceanic is basalt.
