Why is plate tectonics theory thought to be a unifying theory?
Plate tectonics is considered to be a unifying theory because a consensus finds it to be true. Most scientists believe the plate tectonics cause volcanoes and earthquakes.
What is the effects of plate tectonics on land masses and mountain building?
earthquakes and other stuff
Why does NZ have so many earthquakes?
Because New Zealand is on the edge of the plate tectonics.
How are earthquakes and volcanoes related to the theory of the plate tectonics?
They are both caused by movement of tectonic plates.
Does climate change earthquakes?
No. There is no primary cause-effect relationship between plate tectonics and weather patterns.

Do you feel the effects of plate tectonics?
Yes, earthquakes are an affect of plate tectonics.
What do plate tectonics cause around the world?
Plate tectonics can cause volcanoes, earthquakes, and underwater earthquakes can cause tsunamis.
What is the similarity between volcanoes and earthquakes to plate tectonics?
Monkey Pants, YEAH
What is the relationship between density and plate tectonics?
they both have density
What relationship exists between the location of earthquakes and the location of volcanoes?
Both Volcanoes and earthquakes are located where plates of the earth's crust are coming together. This motion and interaction at the edges of the plates is called plate tectonics.
Can earthquakes affect plate tectonics?
Earthquakes are really the result of plate tectonics, not the cause. The moving plates touch at their boundaries and then occasionally suddenly slip. The sudden slip are the earthquakes.
How are crustal features related to plate tectonics?
well i think that it is that plate tectonics are when they move by earthquakes and crustal features are when they discribe the crustal and the plate tectonics.
What theory explains the movement of pieces of earths surface?
theory of plate tectonics
