Tectonic plates move because they are floating on top of the liquid mantle.
movement of tectonic plates or magma rising under ground
An earthquake is when the tectonic plates under ground move making everything shake
Tectonic plates
Earhtquakes form when tectonic plates under the Earth's surface shift, causing the ground to shake.
Tectonic plates are massive slabs of solid rock that float on the semi-fluid mantle layer beneath the Earth's crust. They are located below the ground and make up the outer shell of the Earth's surface. Movement of these plates can cause earthquakes, volcanic activity, and the formation of mountain ranges.
Plates under the ground rub against each other creating friction and therefore raise and crack the surface.
they are plates under the crust that move when are shifted
the tectonic plates shake under the earth causing earthquakes
It was a conservative earthquake caused by tectonic plates under ground, that rub together to make friction.
Tectonic plates are plates underneath the ground we stand on that help to form the structure of the earth, when two tectonic plates colide they create terrains such as mountains. they have also been known to cause some Tsunami's.
