What is a crack across rock layers caused by moving plates?
FAULT
Rocks crack and shift when from moving plates because too great?
Rocks
What are rifts and what kinds of eruptions would you expect?
a rift is a crack cause by plates moving apart along ocean ridges. You could expect fissure eruptions.
Which of these is formed when plates of earths crust bend and crack?
a fault
This crack shown in the lithosphere was created by the movement of two or more tectonic plates What is this crack called?
if the plates are being pushed together, there can't be a crack.... but there is a fault that could be the answer to your question

Rocks crack and shift when from moving plates because too great?
Rocks
Why does a volcano form at the boundary of two plates moving apart?
A volcano will form at the boundary of two plates moving apart. This is because the two plates moving apart create a crack allowing molten lava to flow up from the mantle.
When two geologic plates are moving away from each other what can result?
Magma that turns into lava. A crack in the ground.
What is the cause of earth quake?
the techtonic plates moving, earthquakes mainly happen on the crakes in the techtonic plates like new zealand has quite a few because they are on a crack.

What are the destructive effects of the earthquakes?
the crashing of the plates cause the plates to break and crack
A blank is a crack in Earths crust?
Tectonic Plate.
Crack above the place where the plates meet?
Fault
Are earthquakes all caused by the same thing?
Earthquakes caused due to the movements of the tectonic plates. It can be take even under the sea level in oceanic ridges (which is known as something like a crack on the tectonic plate under the ocean). The lithospheric plates are continuously moving on the asthenospheric layer due to the circulation of convection currents. When the plates are moving, in different different directions they make various kinds of collisions. These collisions also can be divided into several types according to the type of the plates. So when these moving plates collides with each other, earthquakes takes place. So the answer to the questions is simply yes
