many formations can occur during this process. there are normally triggers called earthquakes that occur. near a strong tech tonic plate in the pacific, there are volcanoes that are formed. millions of years ago for example Asia and India were not connected and the large land mass slowly pushe itself into Asia creating the Himalayas in which are still rising this very day
an earthquake
When tectonic plates move and grind against each other, this is an earthquake. If the moving of tectonic plates were to occur beneath the ocean's surface, the result would be a tsunami.
True
Most earthquakes occur near tectonic plates because as the plates shift, they move the ground causing an earthquake to occur. Most earthquakes happen there but you must keep in mind that the tectonic plates only move 4-6 centimeters every years.
Yes they are.
They occur in many places. Like Hawaii They can occur in any place were the tectonic plates move.
Earthquakes are caused when pressure builds up as two tectonic plates move together. As the pressure is released, an earthquake is produced.
The answer is Tectonic Plates
Earth's tectonic plates move and seismic waves begin to occur.
No(see the explanation of the question "Why do the tectonic plates move?"
They are called tectonic or lithospheric plates.
yes the plates can move slowly
