What else can I help you with?
What events occur when tectonic plates move?
an earthquake
Cite evidences to show that earthquakes occur at the boundaries between plates?
example of these is the plates are moving in different ways and when it move the earthquake will occur
Where do volcanos occur?
They occur in many places. Like Hawaii They can occur in any place were the tectonic plates move.
What events occur when the tectonic plates move and grind against each other?
When tectonic plates move and grind against each other, this is an earthquake. If the moving of tectonic plates were to occur beneath the ocean's surface, the result would be a tsunami.
What tectonic plates move the cracks that occur are known as faults?
True
How have crustal plates moved over time?
Molten magma from the mantle rises at the top oceanic ridge, cools and solidifies, continually forming a crustal plate. Hundreds to thousands of miles from the ridge the plate moves downward into the mantle at the contact with another plate and melts. The continuous process resembling a large "conveyor belt" moves the crustal plate a few centimeters each year.
How do Plates move where convection currents are rising-?
This tends to occur below a constructive / divergent plate boundary so the plates will move away from each other.
Why do most earthquakes occur at or near tectonic plate boundaries?
Most earthquakes occur near tectonic plates because as the plates shift, they move the ground causing an earthquake to occur. Most earthquakes happen there but you must keep in mind that the tectonic plates only move 4-6 centimeters every years.
Why do volcanoes and earthquakes occur on plate boundries?
earthquakes occur because plates move and they over lap causing an earthquake.
How are divergent plates different from convergent plates?
Divergent Boundaries happen when two plates (oceanic or contental) begin to diverge, or move apart. Convergent Boundaries occur when two plates (again, oceanic or contential) begin to converge or move apart
How does an earthhquake occur?
the surface of the earth is divided into pieces called tectonic plates.when these plates move and rub against each other,they don't move smoothly.when the plates don't move smoothly earthquakes result.
What is the crack in the ocean floor in which earth rises?
those are tecktonic plates which are delicate.when they move crackes occur. when tecktonic plates move under water it creates viberations which causes tsunamis.
