What else can I help you with?
What does the spreading of tectonic plates cause?
Spredading of tectonic plates causes Tsunamis, Earthquakes, Volcanic erruptions, etc.
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 consequences does the tectonic plates have?
The tectonic plates are constantly moving around and if (or even when) they hit each other they cause earth quakes and even volcanoes.
Which two natural disasters are commonly associated with the movement of tectonic plates?
Earthquakes and volcanoes. Earthquakes may also cause tsunami.
How might geologic events such as the movement of tectonic plates affect the environment where species live?
Movement of tectonic plates can cause seafloor spreading and reversal of Earth's magnetic field, which can affect the organisms that are not adapted to the geological enviroment.
What primary cause of volcanoes and earthquakes?
Tectonic plates
What is the main cause of the volcanoes?
The tectonic plates rubbing together

What kind of disaster that tectonic plates cause?
well that's easy volcanoes,earthquacke's and tsunami's
Is it true that when tectonic plates slide past each other they create a spreading of an ocean?
No. When tectonic plates move away from each other they can cause an ocean to spread.
What do shifting tectonic cause?
shifting tectonic plates cause continents to move a few inches every year. also, if the plates start rubbing against each other, they can cause severe earthquakes. plates hitting and pushing toward each other can form mountains or volcanoes.
Do tectonic plates cause earthquakes and volcanoes to happen for the same reason?
The movement of tectonic plates are almost always the cause for earthquakes and volcanoes, although the actual quake or eruption may occur long after the underlying movement. Earthquakes are sudden shifts in the crust, when built-up stress along rock faults is released. The magma for volcanoes is formed of rocks that melt when they are pushed deeper into the Earth by tectonic forces.
What kind of plates cause volcanoes?
Plates do not cause volcanoes. Volcanoes generally form at the boundaries between plates. They form at convergent and divergent boundaries.
Why does an earthquake zone have earthquakes if no volcanoes are there?
Volcanoes are not the primary cause of earthquakes. Most earthquakes result from the stresses created by tectonic plates moving past or against one another. At transform boundaries there is no mechanism to produce volcanoes, but the movement of the plates will still cause earthquakes. Stresses within a plate can also cause earthquakes.
