What else can I help you with?
Earthquakes occur mainly allong the edges of?
Tectonic plates and fault lines created by the movement of tectonic plates.
Where does movement occur in earthquakes?
Tectonic plates.
The movement of what can form mountains and valleys?
tectonic plates
What activities can cause earthquake?
The movement of tectonic plates.
What do ocean trenches result from?
Movement of the tectonic plates.
Movement of tectonic plates is not caused by?
Ocean Current.
What is tectonic earthquake means?
A tectonic earthquake is a sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust caused by the movement of tectonic plates. These earthquakes occur at plate boundaries where plates are colliding, sliding past one another, or moving apart. The stress built up from the movement of plates is released in the form of seismic waves, causing the ground to shake.
What causes colliding plates?
tectonic movement can cause tectonic plates to collide, drift apart, or slide across one another
Is it true that rocks an be pulled apart by the movement of tectonic plates?
Yes. Tectonic plates are extremely strong and catastrophic in some cases.
How many tectonic plates do we have?
there are 7 huge plates but dozens of smaller plates
What is responsible for movement of tectonic plates in lower mantle?
The movement of tectonic plates in the lower mantle is primarily driven by the process of mantle convection. This is caused by the heat released from the Earth's core, which creates circulation patterns in the mantle that can cause the plates to move. The upwelling and downwelling of material in the mantle contribute to the lateral movement of tectonic plates.
What is the cause of most earthquakes?
the movement of tectonic or lithoshereic plates
