The crustal movement of the plates in the earth are not completely understood by scientist and considered a phenomenon. It is an accepted theory that the strength of the water in contrast to the weakness of the land make the movement of the plates.

What is tectonic earthquake means?
It is the unsual movement of tectonic plates which causes tectonic earthquakes.
What instruments are used to study the shifting of the plates?
GPS transmitors are used to detect the slow movement of the tectonic plates.
What is the movement plates called?
The movement of tectonic plates is part of the process known as plate tectonics.
What is Titanic plate movement?
its actually tectonic plates
How is tectonic movement caused?
Tectonic plates are moved by hot lava under the crust.
What is the therory that explain the movement of tectonic plates?
Continental drift
What causes friction on tectonic plates?
the movement of tectonic plates
Earthquakes occur mainly allong the edges of?
Tectonic plates and fault lines created by the movement of tectonic plates.
What is the theory that explains why you have earthquakes?
Due to the disturbances in tectonic plates
What is tectonic earthquake means?
It is the unsual movement of tectonic plates which causes tectonic earthquakes.
What records movement of tectonic plates?
Earthquakes
Where does movement occur in earthquakes?
Tectonic plates.
How do continents develop?
Continents develop through plate tectonics, where tectonic plates in the Earth's crust move and interact with each other. Continents can also form through processes like volcanic activity, sedimentation, and erosion over millions of years. These processes can lead to the creation, splitting, merging, and movement of continents on Earth's surface.
What instruments are used to study the shifting of the plates?
GPS transmitors are used to detect the slow movement of the tectonic plates.
What is the movement plates called?
The movement of tectonic plates is part of the process known as plate tectonics.
What boundary forms when tectonic plates pull apart?
The movement of tectonic plates in opposite directions is referred to as a divergent boundary.
The movement of what can form mountains and valleys?
tectonic plates
