What is the difference between a tectonic hazard and a tectonic event?
a tectonic hazard is a disaster caused by the moving of tectonic plates.....anda tectonic activity is the moving of tectonic plates........
What mid Atlantic country is being split apart by plate moving?
Iceland.
The Atlantic ocean is growing by a few cm each year. Explain this phenomenon using plate tectonic theory?
That is because the plates are shifting, they moving away from each other causing the Atlantic Ocean to grow wider.
Which ocean did hurricane sandy form on?
Sandy formed in the Atlantic Ocean and gained strength moving North across the Caribbean Sea.
How are the two landforms plateau and mountain formed?
A mountain is formed when two land masses are forced together and they keep on moving upward so over time it creates a mountain.
Is Atlantic ocean is expanding?
Because the tectonic plates which it sits upon are moving apart at the mid-atlantic ridge.
How is a rift zone formed?
Tectonic Plates moving away from each other.
Are volcanoes formed when tectonic plates are moving?
When the tectonic plates cause earthquake, it creates a crater in earth. This opening can lead to a volcano.

What is the north Atlantic ridge?
The Mid-Atlantic Range is an underwater mountain range of the Atlantic Ocean and Artic Ocean. The Mid-Atlantic Ridge is part of the global mid-oceanic ridge system; the ridge is the mountain range where tectonic plates are moving apart along a boundary as magma rises from the Earth's mantel. This magma then heats up and the heat cause the curst on the rifts expand creating the ridges. As the tectonic plates keep moving apart, the Atlantic ridge keeps growing at this point at the rate of 5-10centimeters per year. It's the Nothern third of the Mid-Atlantic ridge Plankey1995 JF
Is it true that the earth's crust is stationary?
The crust is formed on tectonic plates that are always moving because of the magma melting the rock under the surface causing them to move, so, in a way the Earth's crust is moving.
Which ocean did hurricane sandy form on?
Sandy formed in the Atlantic Ocean and gained strength moving North across the Caribbean Sea.
What is Mid Atlantic?
The mid ocean ridge is where the tectonic plates are moving apart in the middle of the ocean causing magma to come to the surface and cool making new seafloor in it's place.
In 1492 Columbus sailed across the Atlantic Ocean moving west from what country?
sailing west from Europe
How do tectonic plates stop moving?
It will stop moving in 200 million years.
