Do volcanoes erupt when earths plates move?
Well, when earths plates move away from each other that's when it happens but move well then NO!
Why do Hawaiian Islands move?
They move because the plates in Earths mantle shift and cause the island to move slightly. As the plates move around they cause changes in Earths landforms. The more pressure is on the plates the more they move around. Because of Japans tsunami and earthquakes, the plates were moved around to Hawaii and possibly could have caused an island to move. If you wander what plates are well they are rigid blocks of crust and upper mantle rock.
Ost geologists thinks that the movement of earths plates is caused by?
Most geologists believe that the movement of the Earth's plates is caused by the process of convection currents in the mantle. These currents are driven by the heat generated from the core of the Earth, which causes the molten rock in the mantle to move in circular patterns, leading to the movement of the tectonic plates.
Do the earths plates move slow?
yes
What process causes earths plates to move?
The process of 'earth plates moving' is Alfred Wageners theory of continental drift. This theory proposes that convenction currents in the earths mantle provides a 'cushion' on which the plates can move.
Do Earths Tetonic plates move apart?
Yes they do.
What state move mean describes earths plates?
In human history no state has had to move because of the Earth's plates.
What are cracks in earths crust that move or shift?
Tectonic plates.

What causes continental plates to move?
Continental plates move due to the process of plate tectonics, where the plates float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere layer beneath them. This movement is driven by convection currents in the mantle, caused by heat from the Earth's core. When these currents push or pull on the plates, they cause them to move, leading to phenomena like earthquakes, volcanic activity, and the formation of mountains.
What caused the tectonic plates?
they are plates under the crust that move when are shifted
