There were two tectonic plates involved: the Pacific plate and the plate under Northern Honshu (it is unknown which plate is under the island).
They are called tectonic or lithospheric plates.
Tectonic plates
Continental plates are tectonic plates. They are tectonic plates upon which continents rest, and they move as do all tectonic plates. Basically, there is no difference, other than the fact that oceanic plates are another type of tectonic plate.
a tectonic hazard is a disaster caused by the moving of tectonic plates.....anda tectonic activity is the moving of tectonic plates........
alot of them
the tectonic plates shake under the earth causing earthquakes
There were two tectonic plates involved: the Pacific plate and the plate under Northern Honshu (it is unknown which plate is under the island).
The Pacific and North American plates.
They are called tectonic or lithospheric plates.
The movement of tectonic plates is part of the process known as plate tectonics.
Tectonic plates
Tectonic plates
By two tectonic plates movement and the boundary that was involved was convergent.
The answer is Tectonic Plates
two seafloor plates and a seafloor plate and continental plate
Continental plates are tectonic plates. They are tectonic plates upon which continents rest, and they move as do all tectonic plates. Basically, there is no difference, other than the fact that oceanic plates are another type of tectonic plate.
