It is when the tectonic plates form and grow older.
harry hess named the tectonic plates but I'm not sure why =/
Tectonic plates and fault lines created by the movement of tectonic plates.
all countries are on tectonic plates because everything on the surface of the earth is on tectonic plates. be more specific with your questions.
Any area where two or more tectonic plates do not touch each other is a not a tectonic plate boundary.
North America is much bigger than pacific tectonic plate.From :Lyssa
Tectonic cycle consequences may lead to a formation of new geographical features which might lead to the loss of lives.
Tectonic

1. Tectonic (lithospheric) cycle. 2. Rock cycle. 3. Mineral (minerological) cycle.
== == A tectonic plate is made of rock in various stages of the rock cycle, the vast majority being composed of igneous rock.

rocks are pushed up by tectonic forces
Subduction is the process of materials moving back into the earth at the boundary of tectonic plates.
Permafrost, submission, mantle and tectonic plate continental shelf drift
Earth definitely does. Possibly Venus and Mars have (or have had) a rock cycle of some sort, too. However, Venus and Mars lack liquid water and tectonic plates, which are important in Earth's rock cycle. On Earth, the rock types involved in the cycle are igneous (of volcanic origin), sedimentary and metamorphic.
a tectonic hazard is a disaster caused by the moving of tectonic plates.....anda tectonic activity is the moving of tectonic plates........
Two cycles determine how mineral deposits are formed-the rock cycle and the tectonic cycle. Heat from the Earth's interior melts some of the rocks in the crust (the upper part of the lithosphere).
