What else can I help you with?
What do tectonic plates lay directly under what?
magma.
Why you have an earthquake?
the tectonic plates are shifting under the earths surface.
What are movements of the earth crust and mantle called?
this is called tectonic plates moving, this causes earthquakes and if under water it's called a psunami
Is an earthquake created by tectonic plates?
An earthquake IS caused by the movement of the plates under the ocean. And there is one active site which is known as "The Ring of Fire". +++ The "Ring of Fire" is a whole set of active sites right round the Pacific Ocean, above the subductions of the sea-floor plates below the surrounding continents.
Are their any tectonic plates under Lake Erie?
Everything on the surface of the earth is on a tectonic plate. All the Great Lakes and in fact all of the U.S. and Canada except for Hawaii and part of California are on the same tectonic plate: the North American Plate.
What are moving pieces under the earths surface that form the earths crust?
Tectonic plates are the moving pieces under the Earth's surface that form the Earth's crust. These plates float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere and interact with each other through processes like subduction, spreading, and collision, which contribute to the shaping of Earth's surface features.
What is under the tectonic plates under ground?
Tectonic plates move because they are floating on top of the liquid mantle.
What kind of plates are under Japan's?
Tectonic plates
What is one result of the movements of tetonic plates?
One result of the movements of tectonic plates is the formation of earthquakes. When tectonic plates interact, they can create stress that builds up and eventually causes the Earth's crust to shift suddenly, resulting in seismic activity.
What caused the tectonic plates?
they are plates under the crust that move when are shifted
How are tectonic plates involved in causing earthquakes and volcanoes?
the tectonic plates shake under the earth causing earthquakes
How do plate tectonic interact?
Two tectonic plates collide, one goes under and the other goes over. Usually this forms an earthquake and is how most mountains are formed eg: the great dividing range. :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
What tectonic plates are under etna?
Its under the South American Plate
What do tectonic plates lay directly under what?
magma.
Are tectonic plates thicker under the ocean?
Yes
Where would you find the tectonic plates?
Anywhere under your feet.
Why you have an earthquake?
the tectonic plates are shifting under the earths surface.
