Movement of tectonic plates is not caused by?
Ocean Current.
The ocean floor is destroyed at?
At the subduction zone of two tectonic plates.
What are the large thin plates that move relative to one another on the outer surface of earth called?
They are called tectonic or lithospheric plates.
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.

Is it true that when tectonic plates slide past each other they create a spreading of an ocean?
No. When tectonic plates move away from each other they can cause an ocean to spread.
How sea floor spreading provide evidence for tectonic plates?
by the plate tectonic and the ocean bridges
What is the connection between ocean currents teqtonic plates?
