How earthquake alters the earth?
Earthquakes shift plates in the earth some times causeing building to knock down buildings or cause cracks , sometimes minor sometimes major,
What tectonic plates caused the earthquake?
PLATES
Can weather start Earthquakes?
Well, not really. There are solar flares, so things do change within the sun, but there is no land, no tectonic plates, and therefore no earthquakes in the way we understand them on Earth. There are vibrations within the sun's interior causing the propagation of waves, the study of which is known as Helioseismology but as noted above they are not really comparable to seismic activity on Earth. Please see the related links.
What are eight minor plates?
There are 41 minor plates so good luck with that
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 a list of the eight minor plates?
The eight minor tectonic plates are not typically shown on the major tectonic plate maps. They are the Arabian Plate, Caribbean Plate, Cocos Plate, Indian Plate, Juan de Fuca Plate, Nazca Plate, Philippine Sea Plate, and the Scotia Plate.
What are the names of all the minor plates in the world?
Some minor tectonic plates include the Juan de Fuca Plate, Cocos Plate, Caribbean Plate, Philippine Sea Plate, Arabian Plate, and Scotia Plate.
How many major and minor plates are there in the crust?
The Earth's lithosphere is divided into several tectonic plates, which include seven major plates and numerous minor plates. The major plates are the Pacific, North American, Eurasian, African, South American, Antarctic, and Indo-Australian plates. Minor plates, such as the Nazca, Cocos, and Caribbean plates, vary in number, but there are generally around a dozen recognized minor plates. Overall, the exact count of minor plates can fluctuate based on classifications and geological activity.
How many minor plates in the Earth?

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.
How do you put tectonic plates in a sentence?

What are the twenty major and the minor plates?
The Earth's lithosphere is divided into major and minor tectonic plates. The major plates include the Pacific, North American, Eurasian, South American, African, Antarctic, and Indo-Australian plates. Minor plates consist of smaller plates such as the Nazca, Cocos, Caribbean, Scotia, Arabian, Philippine Sea, and Juan de Fuca plates, among others. Together, these plates interact at their boundaries, leading to geological phenomena like earthquakes, volcanic activity, and mountain building.
