What else can I help you with?
What consequences does the tectonic plates have?
The tectonic plates are constantly moving around and if (or even when) they hit each other they cause earth quakes and even volcanoes.
What is the general cause of an earthquake?
The Earth's land masses (tectonic plates) moving against each other. Friction.
Can two plates moving away from each other form a volcano?
Yes, but no with each other. They can meet other plates.
Are most volcanoes on land caused by the Earth's plates moving away from each other or moving toward each other?
all volcanoes are caused by the earths plates moving toward each other and that is called convergent boundaries.
Are the pacific plates and the antarctic plates moving towards each other or away from each other or past each other?
the plates are moving away from each other.
What Are Two Plates Moving Past Each Other?
The San Andreas Fault in California is an example of two plates moving past each other: the Pacific Plate is moving northwest relative to the North American Plate. This lateral motion along the fault line can cause earthquakes.
Two plates moving away from each other are said to be?
Divergent
What is the plates that are moving away from each other?
This is a divergent plate boundary.
What is the name of the fault that is moving away from each other?
The Plates are Divergent.
What is the plate boundary where plates are moving towards each other?
A fault.
What is a possible result of plates moving along a transform boundary is?
a possible result of plates moving past each other is an earth quake
What is the name of the places were the tectonic plates meet?
The places where tectonic plates meet are called plate boundaries. There are three main types of plate boundaries: convergent boundaries (plates moving towards each other), divergent boundaries (plates moving away from each other), and transform boundaries (plates sliding past each other).
