Earthquakes

Tsunamis

and ultimately on a longer time scale a volcanic eruption (destructive plate margin volcano such as mt st helens in the 1980s)

What is one result of the movements of tetonic plates?

One result of the movements of tectonic plates is the formation of earthquakes. When tectonic plates interact, they can create stress that builds up and eventually causes the Earth's crust to shift suddenly, resulting in seismic activity.


What occurs when earths crust shift?

When the Earth's crust shifts, it can result in earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and the formation of mountains or valleys. These movements are usually caused by the tectonic plates beneath the Earth's surface shifting and impacting one another.


Earthquakes result when forces push what along faults in earths lithosphere?

Earthquakes result when forces push plates along faults in the Earth's lithosphere. These plates are comprised of the crust and a portion of the upper mantle.


What is caused by the sudden movements of the earth?

Sudden movements of the Earth can result in earthquakes. These occur when the Earth's tectonic plates suddenly shift, causing seismic waves that can result in damage to structures and land.


What is the central idea of earthquakes?

The earth is made up of tectonic plates whose movements when they meet result in earthquakes or volcanic eruptions.

What happens as earths mantle drags on the bottom of techtonic plates?

As Earth's mantle drags on the bottom of tectonic plates, it creates stress and friction that can cause the plates to move. This movement can result in various tectonic activities such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and the formation of mountain ranges as the plates interact with each other.


When the earth's plates shift the results is?

When the Earth's plates shift, it can result in earthquakes, volcanic activity, and the formation of mountains. These movements occur at plate boundaries, where tectonic forces cause the plates to interact in different ways, leading to various geological events.

How are drumlins form?

A Drumlin is a sub-glacial land form. It is a result of catastrophic flooding due to the release of melt water accumulating beneath ice sheets of regional uplift of tectonic movements.


What is one thing that can cause a tsunami?

Most tsunamis are caused by earthquakes below the sea level. These undersea earthquakes are a result of shifting in the earths tectonic plates.
