What else can I help you with?
How can tectonic plates move thousands of miles?
Tectonic plates move thousands of miles because they are not anchored down.
Does magnetism make the tectonic plates move?
No(see the explanation of the question "Why do the tectonic plates move?"
In what direction do tectonic plates go?
Tectonic plates move from east to west as a whole due to the coreolis (not sure of spelling) effect.
What are the plates move around the earth?
tectonic plates
How do the tectonic plates of the earth move?
no
What is the point where the tectonic plates move causing an earthquake?
earthquake zone or in the boundry of tectonic plates
What is stresses in tectonic plates?
Magma moving underneath the earth causes tectonic plates to move about.
Do convection current in oceans cause tectonic plates to move?
No, convection currents in the upper mantle cause tectonic plates to move.
What are the large thin plates that move relative to one another on the outer surface of earth called?
They are called tectonic or lithospheric plates.
Tectonic plates interact at what?
Tectonic plates interact at plate boundariesThey move apart at divergent boundaries
How do tectonic plates cause contenitial drift?
Because tectonic plates move, therefore if the continent is on it, it moves with it!
What do tectonic plates move?
Tectonic Plates move by trying to push past each other and by trying to slide past each other.
