What are moving pieces under the earths surface that form the earths crust?
The answer is tectonic plates floating on the lithosphere. Does that answer your question? LOL :)
Do tsunamis have a connection to the movement of the earths plates?
yes, it does have connection of the earths plates because when two plates go together it burst water under the ocean
When two plates slide one under another what is it called?
A transform fault
What are plate bounaries?
bounaries between the tectonic plates under the earths serface.
What help create volcanoes?
The moving earth plates and the heat (and other stuff) from under the earths crust.

Why you have an earthquake?
the tectonic plates are shifting under the earths surface.

A transform fault
What is an area where one of the huge plates under the earths surface slides under or pulls away from the edge of another plate and magma rises to the surface of the earth?
volcano
What cuases an earhquake?
tectonic plates under the earths crust shifting
What moves the ocean floor?
the tectonic plates under the earths surface
Which process is currently accepted explanation of the movement of drifting continents?
the convection currents in the mantle under the earths curst is moving the broken plates in earths lithosphere causing the plates slide across the lithosphere. this process is called tectonics. (jon lay wrote this,)
What are the plates under land areas called?
Land plates are called continental plates. Sea plates are called oceanic plates.
