I recently did a report which included earthquakes, and I did a little research about your question. I'm not sure if what I found is entirely true, but the book I read said that scientists are not really sure. The book said that scientists thought that maybe it came from the mantle, where it is very hot. As the heat from mantle is released, it goes up to the crust in waves. These waves cause the tectonic plates to move with them.
What else can I help you with?
What is the plate movement of a destructive plate?
tectonic shift
What would cause a major earthquake in B.C.?
plate movement and plate tectonics
What is the study of plate movement?
Plate tectonics or continental drift. Hello Bobs of the world
What is the movement and interaction of plates?
plate tectonics
What kind of landforms can destructive plate movement cause?
Mountains, Continents, Volcanoes, Islands, and Fault Lines are the 5 landforms caused by plate movement.
What are several reasons for plate movement?
No its to hard for me
What movement does mantle convection currents cause?
They cause plate movement. The plate movement then causes an earthquake.
What type of plate movement forms volcanoes in iceland?
Divergent plate movement.
Why do major landslides occur near plate boundaries?
There are two reasons. First, the movement along plate boundaries and the accompanying folding and faulting can create hills and mountains. If the slopes become too steep they are unstable and prone to landslides. Second, movement along plate boundaries also generates earthquakes, which can trigger landslides.
Does Uranus have plate movement?
No it does not have plate movements.
What is the plate movement of a destructive plate?

What are plate movement?
the movement of earths plates or crust
What type of plate movement is happening at the edge of the Pacific and North American Plate?
The Pacific Plate is sliding horizontally past the North American Plate along a transform boundary. This type of movement is responsible for frequent earthquakes in regions like California.
Which plate appears to have little or no movement at all?
Antarctic plate !
What is the type of movement that occurs at each type of plate boundary?
each plate boundary has a different boundaries. if you want the movement for a specific plate boundary, write the name of the plate boundary. :]
What is the plate on kilauea located?
The Pacific Plate. In the middle of the plate the volcano is rising from the plate movement.
What is different about plate movement in California as compared in Pakistan?
