well, when the valcano erupt it makes new land . the mmoving of the tectonics causes the eruption of the volcano.

When did plate tectonics stop?
As far as the Earth is concerned - plate tectonics has not stopped; the plates are still in motion - which is why we get earthquakes and volcanic eruptions along the plate boundaries.
What theory explains how rocks in the earth store energy and release it to cause earthquakes?
The theory of plate tectonics
How was Japan made?

Which of the terrestrial planets experiences PLATE tectonics?
The only terrestrial planet known to experience plate tectonics is Earth. Plate tectonics is the movement and interaction of large sections of Earth's lithosphere, and it plays a vital role in shaping the planet's surface and driving geological activity such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
Impact on earth of a earthquakes?
It has many impacts on the Earth, such as moving the plates on the Earth to create earthquakes. It starts on fault lines, and it changes the Earth's surface in many ways, creating volcanoes and sometimes (if its in the water) it makes a tsunami!
What do plate tectonics help explain?
They explain the cause of earthquakes on Earth.
What do earthquakes tell about the Earth?
It proves the Plate Tectonics theory suggested by Alfred Wegener.
What does 6th grade earth science teach?
Earth's interior Plate Tectonics Earthquakes Volcanoes Minerals Rocks
What are earth processes that are not affected by human and other organism?
Volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, plate tectonics,
How do scientists think the earth crust's move?
It moved because of tectonics plates. Even earthquakes can move the Earth's crust!

How do plate tectonics cause earth quakes?
Plate tectonics move. But the plate margin that cause strong earthquakes are collision and conservative plate margins. I hope it helped!
What does the theory of plate tectonics help explain?
The theory of plate tectonics helps to explain how earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur.
What is the study of the forces within the earth that cause earth's crust to move called?
earthquakes or continental drift
