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........
Are most volcanoes on land caused by the earths 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.
Do moving tectonic plates cause tsunamis?
Tsunamis are often caused by earthquakes in the sea. Earthquakes are caused by moving tectonic plates. So, indirectly, yes. See the related question below for more information on the causes of tsunami.
Can landslides be caused by plates in the earth moving?
Indirectly. The movement of tectonic plates is the cause of the majority of earthquakes. Earthquakes can cause landslides.
Does two plates moving apart cause sea floor spreading?
yes it does, floor spreading caused by shifting techtonic plates in active ocean

What caused the colchester earthquake?
Something with plates moving.
What caused the Jiajing earthquake?
The tectonic plates moving, transform.
Do moving plates cause tornadoes?
No. Moving plates cause most earthquakes but have absolutely nothing to do with tornadoes. Tornadoes are caused by strong thunderstorms.

What useful changes are caused by earthquakes?
because of moving of tectonic plates
What evidence reasoning to geologist use to support the idea that plates are moving?
It is no longer an idea for some time that plates are moving. It is a fact. Earthquakes and todays technology prove the fact that the earths plates are moving. Tsunamis are caused by earthquakes.
Why are the plates near Haiti moving so fast?
They aren't moving faster than other plates, they actually weren't moving because of a snag between the two that gave way and caused an earthquake.

What is convergent plate boundary and what are the plates doing?
A convergent plate boundary is a place where tectonic plates are moving together. The plates are sliding across the the plastic asthenosphere.
What are deep ocean trenches caused by?
Plate tectonics, the moving and repositioning of earths plates.
