How are earthquakes related to plates and faults?
Plate tectonics is when the plates on the earth's surface move, colliding into one another. When two plates collide, they can cause continental crust to be altered significantly. This can happen by displacing things such as roads and bridges, or by raising or lowering the ground. Plate tectonics can continue to make convergent boundaries and reverse faults slip after an earthquake, which is called an aftershock.
Where two plates move side by side?
Convergent Boundary.
What are conservative plate boundaries?
These are plate boundary where there is relatively little or no creation of new crust or destruction of old crust. At the conservative plate boundary, tectonic plate move side by side horizontally sliding pass one another and berely interacting but only leading to the formation of a kind of line in-between called tranform fault or transform fault line. So it just seem as if the lithosphere in such boundary is conserved and preserved.
How do mid ocean ridge support both the idea of continental drift and the theory of plate tectonics?
The mid ocean ridge support it becuase your find similar sample of rock type on opposite side of the ridge which has thesame age. Mid-Oceanic ridge are where new sea floors are created which is usually called a divergent boundary. As these places move apart they push the other plates to collide and slide pass each other. That is why it is a cycle
What are three theories of plate movement?
Plate movement has three theories. They are 1. Divergent where they more away from each other, 2. Convergent where they move towards each other, and the 3rd theory or movement is transform, where the movements are side by side.
How does continental drift support plate tectonics?
continental drift and plate tectonics are two side of a coin. As the continents are interlinked with the plates; so as the plate moved due to conviction current the continents also tends to move causing continental drift. Moment of plates due to conviction current or due to the adjacent plate is called plate tectonics.
How do the formation of landmass affected by the movement of the lithosphere?
the plate tectonics will move to one side to another
Why do mountains occur along side of the red sea?
Due to plate tectonics.
Are Magnetic bands on either side of the mid-Atlantic ridge able to provide evidence for plate tectonics?

What are the following terms best describes the concept that molten rock emanates from the edge of a plate on the Earths crust pushing rock on the other side into a trench?
plate Tectonics
Is the Mojave Desert a result of plate tectonics?
Indirectly, yes. Both the Coastal Mountains and the Sierra Nevada Mountains were forced up by plate tectonics. These mountains block Pacific moisture from moving inland causing a rain shadow desert on the leeward side.
How do crustal plate move?
Subsidue-moving downward Uplift-moving upward Thrust-moving side-to-side
What is it called when you move a vehicle side to side?
Fishtail
What is it called when you move from side to side but its not swaying?
Wagging
Is the south of Montserrat out of bound?
Yes - the southern side of Montserrat is out of bounds, because of the volcanic activity due to plate tectonics, so it is unsafe for people to travel there as the volcano is still active.
Why in restaurants small plate kept at left side and large plate on right side?
The one on the left is called as quarter plae and on right is called as full plate (Army Ettiquettes). Smaller plate is for bread and larger is known as dinner plate. Smaller plae is placed just above the tip of fork.
