What else can I help you with?
What evidence from the sea floor proves that tectonic plates move?
Underwater volcanoes are one example of tectonic plate movement. Because when the plates move pools of lava are exposed and released. Hope this helped!
How can the movement of tectonic plates create a mountain?
The plates push and pull and grind against each other they push together the force goes up and they form large mountains!
What caused Gondwanaland to separate?
tectonic plates
Why is Philippines part of Asia?
It is because of the movements the of tectonic plates.
What are most earthquakes cause by?
moving tectonic plates on earths surface
Earthquakes occur mainly allong the edges of?
Tectonic plates and fault lines created by the movement of tectonic plates.
Is there correlation between tectonic plates and earthquakes?
Absolutely! The friction and catching from tectonic plate movement causes quakes.
How have tectonic plates affected latin Americas physical geography?
Many parts of Latin America experience volcanic activity and earthquakes. This is due to the movement of five tectonic plates. The two highest mountain peaks in Mexico are volcanoes.
What records movement of tectonic plates?
Earthquakes
Where does movement occur in earthquakes?
Tectonic plates.
What are the names of the tectonic plates that caused the haiti earthquake?
The North American and Caribbean tectonic plates caused the Haiti earthquake in 2010. The movement along the boundary between these two plates resulted in the devastating earthquake.
Is there a correlation between the tectonic plates and earthquakes?
Yes, there is a correlation between tectonic plates and earthquakes. Most earthquakes occur at plate boundaries where tectonic plates interact, such as subduction zones or transform faults. The movement of the plates can generate stresses in the Earth's crust, leading to the release of energy in the form of seismic waves, causing earthquakes.
What is the relationship between mantle viscosity and the movement of tectonic plates?
The mantle viscosity, or thickness of the Earth's mantle, affects the movement of tectonic plates. A more viscous mantle slows down plate movement, while a less viscous mantle allows for faster plate movement. This relationship influences the speed and direction of tectonic plate motion.
The movement of what can form mountains and valleys?
tectonic plates
What activities can cause earthquake?
The movement of tectonic plates.
Movement of tectonic plates is not caused by?
Ocean Current.
What do ocean trenches result from?
Movement of the tectonic plates.
