The earths plates will move around and now and again hit each other this will cause the earthquake
the plate tectonics will collide and slide past each other causing the earth to shake known as the earthquake

The movement of these can reshape the earth?
The Earth's crust, known as the lithosphere, is broken into segments known as plates. The movement of the plates over the asthenosphere causes the plates to change position altering Earth's surface.
What causes volcanic activity in the middle of a lithosphere plate?
the plates crash over each other.
Which event cannot be explained by the movement of the lithosphere plates tornadoes earthquakes volcanoes mountain formation?
Tornadoes.
Which of earthes mechanical layers contains the seven major plates?
The Lithosphere is a mechanical layer on Earth that contains seven major plates.
What does the crustal plates movement causes?
Earthquakes. Pressure in the Earth's core.
What are the affects of movement in the lithosphere?
Because the Lithosphere is made up of huge plates that move over the surface of the Earth which causes plates to move.

What is the role of the mid-ocean ridge in the movement of lithosphere plates?
To fill the gap of separating plates.
What is the role of mid ocean ridge in the movement of the lithosphere plates?
To fill the gap of separating plates.
What is the role of the mid ocean ridge in the movement of lithosphere plates?
To fill the gap of separating plates.
What is the role the mid-ocean ridge in the movement of lithosphere plates?
To fill the gap of separating plates.
What is the role of the mid ocean ridge in the movement lithosphere plates?
To fill the gap of separating plates.
What causes the movement of plates?
colliding plates and
What does the asthenosphere cause?
Scientists speculate that the movement of tectonic plates is created by the movement of the rigid lithosphere on the asthenosphere.
Why can lithosphere plates drift or move?
convection currents cause movement in the asthenosphere
How might the plasticity of the mantle influence the movement of earths lithosphere plates?
Plasticity means that there is enough movement in the asthenosphere to allow thelithospheric plates to move.
What can the movement of two plates in the earth's lithosphere?
new crust will be formed as the plates move away from each other.
