What direction plates tectonic move in?
The earth's plates move in all directions: up, down, and sideways. That's why we have mountains and subsidances and earthquakes and volcanoes and all sorts of stuff!
The movement of rock along a fault is called?
Tectonic movement. The outer crust of the Earth is made up of huge masses called plates. These plates are actually floating on the molten rock (magma) underneath them. (Magma is the stuff that spews out of erupting volcanoes) When tectonic plates temporarily get stuck against eachother and then suddenly release, we experience an earthquake.
Where does an earthquake and volcanic activity often take place?
Earthquakes and volcano activity occurs at the boundaries or edges of the tectonic plates.
What does magma rising between separate plates create?
Stuff
What help create volcanoes?
The moving earth plates and the heat (and other stuff) from under the earths crust.
Who do earth plates move?
The tectonic plates move because they are floating on magma. They jostle with each other and that's how you get tectonic movement, earthquakes, volcanoes and all that happy stuff.

What type of motion occurred between the two plates?
A convergent boundary can form between two plates and a divergent boundary can be created between two plates, then two plates rubbing together create earthquakes, many are very minor. A convergent boundary is two plates pushing together to form a mountain, hill, or volcano. Divergent plates move apart and create canyons and stuff.
How do the plates effect the movement in the northwest?
They are plates, and they move around, and they shake and stuff.

How can you tell that your friend is a bully?
if they mess with somebody like pushes them and that kind of stuff
How effective is wind?
It pushes stuff, when someone passes right beside you running, wind will push you. It doesn't really push you but that is how you feel the cold wind. So it pushes stuff when you push them lol

How are earthqaukes made?
From plates underground colliding,This is 4th grade stuff...
earthquake stuff pls?
An earthquake is the result of a sudden release of stored energy in the Earth's crust that creates seismic waves. Earthquakes are accordingly measured with a seismometer, commonly known as a seismograph. An earthquake is caused by tectonic plates getting stuck and putting a strain on the ground.
Which tectonic plates shifted causing the earthquake Japan 2011?
Thrust faulting along or near the subduction zone plate boundary between the Pacific and North America plates. It occured due to compressional stress and convergent plate boundaries which are destructive.It was a destructive plate boundaryI am so very sorry this didn't help me at all I couldn't understand this and i am very good at this kind of stuff.-turd190
