What are the 12 major tectonic plates and where are they located on a global map?
The tectonic plates aren't located on a map they are on the kitchen next to the bowls
Why do you see only the dry land areas of tectonic plates on a typical world map?
Because the dry land (continents) are the top of the tectonic plates?
The colors on the map above show the locations of the major tectonic plates that make up the Earth's crust. Which city on the map is most likely to experience a major earthquake?
Juneau
What collided with what to form the Himalayan mountains?
when plates collide mountains will form. If you look at a map with the plate boundaries and compare it to a physical map of the world you will see that a lot of mountaind=s form on plate boundries.
The global positioning system can map the rate of tectonic plate movement using?
radio waves
How do you find PLATES on a map?
they have special map for showing the plates, i believe it is called a tectonic map.

What tectonic plate are you standing on?
It depends on where you are there are many tectonic plates I recomend that you should look up tectonic plate map and look for where you are.
Does the shape of the earthquake focus pattern support the theory of plate tectonics?
Earthquakes are most common above boundaries between the tectonic plates. If a map is taken and then earthquake patterns marked on it, the clear shapes of the tectonic plates can be seen, out lined by the earthquake markers. (the clear shapes of the tectonic plates...that's actually kind of a cool rhyme...)
What is a fault on a map?
A fault line is the boundary between two tectonic plates; fault lines do not ordinarily appear on maps.
What are the names and locations of tectonic plates?
There are a number of websites that provide maps or diagrams showing the major tectonic plates. Perhaps one of the best is that produced by the US Geological Survey. Please see the related link.
Why can't two earthquakes happen at the same time and place?
earthquakes are caused by tectonic plates (wich hold the dry land up out of the water) crunching and grinding against each other. for a map of the tectonic plates go to wikipedia and type 'plate tectonics.' it should take you directly to a map. hope this is helpful!
What scientific theory is not shown by the world map on earths plates?
gravity Also, ahhh, plate tectonics maybe ?
The colors on the map above show the locations of the major tectonic plates that make up the Earth's crust. Which city on the map is most likely to experience a major earthquake?
Juneau
What type of map would you use to find the location of coal at earths surface and why?
geoligical map
What was Marie Tharp's contribution to plate tectonics?
Marie Tharp's contribution to tectonic plates is the first sea floor map she made. it showed the mid-ocean ridges which help form the discovery of the plates.
