What is a hypothesis for plate movement?
when pressure builds under the plates they move in opposite directions.
Why are volcanoes in our world?
They are a result of tetonic activity. they occur when two plates push together under a great pressure and then begin to fold upwards. when there is a weakness in the plates the mantles pressure builds and magma comes to the surface.
What happens when plates on earth crust push together or scrape past each other?
They lodge together pressure builds up and overcomes the friction the plates jolt past each other and make earthquakes this also creates ridges in the land eg san andreas fault
What is it called when pressure builds up in a rock or when other pieces of the Earth's crust collide?
Convergence of tectonic plates, which can cause earth quakes and tsunamis.
Why are tsunamis in the world?
this happens when the earth's tectonics plates have rubbed together for a long time on a fault line over a long time this pressure builds then suddenly releases and this a displacement of water ties to spread out, and this causes tsunamis it they happen to reach land and they are big. This is what I learnt
As plates move what happens when pressure builds up and then rocks break?
The plates collide together and they break apart...
What happens before rocks give way in an earthquake?
pressure builds under the plates
What happens when the lithospheric plates rub past each other?
pressure builds uo and then releases
What is released when earthquakes happens?
Energy, tension and pressure. Two tectonic plates tries to slide against each other but gets caught. Pressure builds up until something breaks and the plates are released with a shock.
Is there a relationship between plate tectonics and volacnoes?
The movement of plates cause volcanoes pressure builds in the mantle when 2 plates push towards together and the pressure pushes lava up through the ground and over time this makes volcanoes

What forms when lithospheric plates rub past each other?
pressure builds up, and then it is suddenly released.
What is the pressure of the mantle?
the pressure builds up from tectonic plates moving past each other causing gaps and then volcanoes are produced. hope it helps.

How does earthquake occur?
Earthquakes are caused when pressure builds up as two tectonic plates move together. As the pressure is released, an earthquake is produced.
What will happen when stress builds up in a tectonic plate and the plates collide?
When that happens a earthquake is produced.
