Is the crust made of tectonic plates?
Yes, it is made of tectonic plates and those plates have names e.g. Indo Australian plate, Eurasion plate
How are fold mountains made?
Fold mountains are formed from the collision of continental tectonic plates. Since neither plate subducts under the other, the colliding plates wrinkle and fold like a rug being pushed into a wall.
What are the tectonic plates large pieces of?
lithosphere
How many tectonic plates is earth made of?
12
What triggers the earthquake?
Earth is made up of many tectonic plates. When these plates shift, earthquakes happen. The tectonic plates are always moving, but most of the earthquakes are tremors (depends on how close you are to the place the tectonic plates are shifting).
How many tectonic plates are made of only oceanic crust?
how many tectonic plates are made of oceanic crust
What are the plates that move and the lithosphere is made of them?
tectonic plates
Is the crust made out of tectonic plates?
Yes, it is made of tectonic plates and those plates have names e.g. Indo Australian plate, Eurasion plate

How mountains were made?
Mountain were made by huge segments of the earth's crust also know as tectonic plate. Over millions of year of volcanic activity under the earths crust forced these plates to shift. When to plates meet, the force of the volcanic pressure and the to plates may be pushed upward and create mountains.
What type of crust is the earths tectonic plates made up of?
Tectonic plates may be made of continental crust, oceanic crust, or both.
What are the tectonic plates large pieces of?
lithosphere
Why are mountains form?
Mountains are formed by tectonic plates shifting and causing the crust to fold. And after millions of years, a mountain builds up.Also when it erupts the rocks build up and forms mountian
What kind of plates are made up of the earth?
The Earth's plates are called tectonic plates.
How do tectonic plates affect caves?
it made them
How do you put tectonic plates in a sentence?
When I first saw you, I was certain that the tectonic plates had just shifted. The Earth's lithosphere is made up of seven or eight major, and many minor tectonic plates.
