What causes volcanoes to erupt under earths surface?
mostly earthquakes or plate tectonic movement.
What kind of tectonic plate is the eurasian plate?
The tectonic plate under parts of Europe and Asia is a continental crustal plate.
What is the tectonic plate in japan?
Four Tectonic PlatesJapan lies over 4 tectonic plates. These are: The North American PlateThe Eurasian PlateThe Philippine Sea Plate, andThe Pacific Plate.
How does plate tectonics affect the mantle?
Tectonic Plates float on top of the earths mantle, the earths mantle is made up liquid which is always circulating.
What isn't a tectonic plate boundary?
Any area where two or more tectonic plates do not touch each other is a not a tectonic plate boundary.
What is the slab of the earths crust that regularly moves away from or collides with other slabs called?
The slab of the Earth's crust that regularly moves away from or collides with other slabs is called a tectonic plate. These plates make up the Earth's lithosphere and their movement is responsible for processes such as earthquakes and mountain formation.
What tectonic plate is a slab of the earth's?
All tectonic plates are part of the Earth crust.
What is plate tectonic plates?

What is the rock of earths mantle?

A slab of continental or oceanic crust is known as?
A slab of continental or oceanic crust is known as a tectonic plate. These plates make up the Earth's lithosphere and float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere below, moving due to the process of plate tectonics.
Large section of earths crust that moves as one unit?
Plate
Where do folds in the earths crust form?
along tectonic plate boundaries.
How does slab pull and ridge push work together?
Slab pull and ridge push are two key driving forces of plate tectonics that work together to move tectonic plates. Slab pull occurs when the denser oceanic plate sinks into the mantle at subduction zones, pulling the rest of the plate behind it. Ridge push happens at mid-ocean ridges where new crust is formed and pushes the tectonic plate away from the ridge. Together, these forces contribute to the movement of tectonic plates.
