What does the spreading of tectonic plates cause?
Spredading of tectonic plates causes Tsunamis, Earthquakes, Volcanic erruptions, etc.
What are the 3 type of earthquakes?
(1)midocean spreading ridges, (2) subduction zones, and (3) transform faults.Normal fault, Reverse fault, and strike-slip fault
What each cycle of spreading and intrusion of magma during seafloor spreading results in?
Taco.
What is the primary site for sea floor spreading?
Sea floor spreading occurs at mid-ocean ridges
How are spreading boundaries related to volcanoes?
they are not

Krakatoa
What is the difference in spreading center earthquakes and subduction zone?
Spreading center earthquakes are always shallow, subduction zone earthquakes can be very deep.Spreading center earthquakes are typically of lower magnitude than subduction zone earthquakes.
What do frequent earthquakes in an area indicate?
Sea floor spreading.
What are five hazards caused by earthquakes?
Earthquakes can cause grounds shaking, tsunamis, landslides and rockfalls, subsidence and lateral spreading, and liquefaction.
What does the spreading of tectonic plates cause?
Spredading of tectonic plates causes Tsunamis, Earthquakes, Volcanic erruptions, etc.
What are 3 different types of earthquakes?
(1)mid ocean spreading ridges, (2) subduction zones, and (3) transform faults.
What does the movement of earth's crust along the plate boundaries produce?
It produces spreading of the ocean floor, separation of the continents, earthquakes, and a few other noteworthy occurrences.

Do atomic bombs explode on impact of ground?
Some atomic bombs explode on impact, most explode in the air for maximum destruction caused by the explosion spreading out over a wider area.
Would the most violent earthquakes be associated with spreading centers or with subduction zone?
because the plates the mantle would slide under each other hitting the mantle causing the magma to erup causing volcano
How plate tectonics might lead to extinction?
Plate tech-tonics are spreading apart and around the globe. So the might collide with another Continent creating volcanoes and all the destruction would lead to extinction
What is the major goal of primary disease prevention efforts?
The primary goal of disease prevention is to protect the population by preventing them from becoming sick in the first place. Disease prevention keeps diseases from spreading, saves lives, and saves a tremendous amount of money in treatments costs.
