Are waves created by rocks?
Ocean waves= either tidal pull of the moon, tectonic activity, or wind waves like earthquakes?= tectonic plates either converging or diverging.
Why are most trenches on the sea floor found around the rim of the pacific ocean?
It is the converging boundaries of two tectonic plates, with one submerged under the other, this explains the trenches and the frequent seismic activity in the area (also know as the Ring of Fire).
Movement of tectonic plates is not caused by?
Ocean Current.
Why does volcano mostly found beside the ocean or sea?
Volcanoes have been videoed under the oceans; volcanoes are associated with the joint between tectonic plates and many of these joints are in the deep ocean. It's been estimated that 75% of the magma in the world comes from submarine volcanoes.
What tectonic plate is primarily comprised of seafloor crust?
Divergent plate boundaries are often found on the ocean floorâ??s crust. These are the type of tectonic plates that produce volcanoes and rifts.

Where two tectonic plates meet?
two tectonic plates meet usually at mid ocean ridges (eg Iceland) and at destructive plate boundaries (eg Japan).
A mid-ocean ridge forms along what plates?
tectonic plates
Do tides cause ocean plates to pull away from tectonic plates?
Yes!
Are tectonic plates thicker under the ocean?
Yes
What form a mid ocean ridge?
tectonic plates
What do ocean trenches result from?
Movement of the tectonic plates.
Movement of tectonic plates is not caused by?
Ocean Current.
Do oceanic plates move?
the ocean plates move because of the movement of the the tectonic plates beneath the ocean and do to the motion of the oceans currents.
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.
