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........
What are the large thin plates that move relative to one another on the outer surface of earth called?
They are called tectonic or lithospheric plates.
What process are mountain ranges and belts built through?
Mountain ranges and belts are built through a process called orogenesis
The lithosphere is broken up into sections called?
Tectonic plates
What causes friction on tectonic plates?
the movement of tectonic plates
What is earth tectonic activities?
It is when Earth's tectonic plates move around.
What activities can cause earthquake?
The movement of tectonic plates.
What is a cause for a volcano?
Tectonic activities, (Earths internal movements).
Is Nigeria prone to earthquake?
NO. NO.. NO... Nigeria is very very safe from highly active tectonic and volcanic activities.
What happens around the ring f fire?
There are active tectonic activities
Why do volcanic activities occur at zones of crustal activity?
Because of the plate tectonic
What are 2 causes of earthquake?
earthquakes can be caused by either tectonic or volcanic. Tectonic earthquakes are caused by movement of tectonic plates underneath the earth surface. Volcanic earthquakes are caused by volcanic activities underneath or above earth's surface.
Why are there areas of little or no tectonic activity like in the middle of the continents?
they are stable lands. mountains are unstable becz they are formed by collision and uprising. continents are flat and stable and hence hardly receptive to tectonic activities.
Is seismology the study of tornadoes?
no. It is the study of the tectonic plates and the earthquakes that form. It studies the seismic activities of these plates. Thus seismology.
