What else can I help you with?
What are the countries in the tectonic plate?
all countries are on tectonic plates because everything on the surface of the earth is on tectonic plates. be more specific with your questions.
What plastic like layer has tectonic plates ride on it?
The middle layer of earth that is MANTLE. It has the tectonic plates floating on it.
A tectonic plate is a slab of earth's?
crust? what is it that you are asking exactly?
What is the tectonic plates in earth's crust?
plates of the earth's crust that float on top of the molted mantle layer.
Are volcanoes formed when tectonic plates are moving?
When the tectonic plates cause earthquake, it creates a crater in earth. This opening can lead to a volcano.
What is earth tectonic activities?
It is when Earth's tectonic plates move around.
What kind of plates are made up of the earth?
The Earth's plates are called tectonic plates.
What are the plates move around the earth?
tectonic plates
Are tectonic plates located in the mantle of the Earth?
Yes, tectonic plates are located in the Earth's lithosphere, which is the outermost layer of the Earth's surface, not in the mantle.
How many minor plates in the earth's crust?
There are around 15 minor tectonic plates in the Earth's crust, in addition to the major plates. These minor plates contribute to the overall movement and interaction of Earth's tectonic plates.
What is stresses in tectonic plates?
Magma moving underneath the earth causes tectonic plates to move about.
What do you call the pieces of the Earth's crust?
The pieces of the Earth's crust are called tectonic plates. These plates float on the semi-fluid layer of the Earth's mantle and interact with each other, causing movements such as earthquakes and volcanic activity.
How do the tectonic plates of the earth move?
no
How many minor tectonic plates are there on Earth?
There are around 15-20 minor tectonic plates on Earth, in addition to the major plates that comprise the Earth's lithosphere. These minor plates are smaller in size compared to the major plates and play a role in the movement and dynamics of tectonic activity.
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.
Are all tectonic plates the same?
No, tectonic plates vary in size, shape, and composition. There are different types of tectonic plates, including oceanic plates that are denser and thinner than continental plates. The motion and interactions of these plates play a crucial role in shaping the Earth's surface through processes like subduction and spreading.
Are continents and plates not the same?
No, continents and plates are not the same. Continents are large land masses that form the Earth's surface, while tectonic plates are pieces of the Earth's lithosphere that move and interact with each other, causing geological phenomena like earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. Continents are located on top of tectonic plates and can be made up of one or more plates.
