What else can I help you with?
What two main names do you give to the moving plates?
continental and the oceanic.
What is the cause of the plate movement?
the magama under the plates are moving causing the plates to move.If you like this answer could you give me some trust points
Give names for 4 of the largest tectonic plates theat make up the earth?
Nothing
Is global warming causing the earthquakes this year?
No, earthquakes are caused by the tectonic plates that cover the earth moving slowly together or apart. Plates moving together gradually form mountains, like the Rocky Mountains, or the Andes. When the pressure of the plates gets too much they give a jolt, and that is an earthquake. Nothing to do with global warming.
Can you give names of very fast moving animals?
Cheetah, Turtle/Tortoise(when underwater), Some Fish and Whales.
What are seismic waves and what information information do they give about earthquakes?
Earthquakes are when the seismic plates on the earths crust move after pressure from on another is exceeded, seismic waves are produced after an earthquake, and can turn into a tsunami.
Is it true or false that volcanoes happen when moving plates strain against each other and one plate suddenly gives away?
False. When plates give way in this manner the result is an earthquake. Volcanoes are produced by different but related processes.
What natural hazard usually results when crustal plates scrape and slide past one another?
Tectonic plates are huge plates of rock covering the surface of the earth. They are very slowly moving, some moving together, some moving apart.Sometimes they have been pushing or pulling a bit without any movement until suddenly they give a jerk. That jerk is usually an earthquake.The natural disaster from the movement of tectonic plates is an earthquake, and if it's under the sea, then it might cause a tsunami.
Give you names of slow moving animals?
Koalas, Tortoise, Snail, Anakonda KOALAS SNAIL ANAKONDA
What is the name for a break is earth's crust where tectonic plates slide?
A break in the earths crust is called 1.) deformation 2.) boundry 3.) rebound 4.) fault I'll give you a hint. "It was not my _______ !!" "I did not break the lamp!!"
What process causes stress in Earths crust?
Plate tectonics, the movement of the large pieces of the earth's crust, give rise to great stress along the boundaries of the plates. Wikipedia has a post on plate tectonics, and a link is provided.
What is the function of plates?
Plates give us something clean to eat our food off.
