huge amounts of stress and tension put together theres also slip strike faults reverse faults and most importly normal faults it also causes tsunamis thats when oceanic crust over laps continental crust when continental crust brakes it forces the water high in the air causing a hugely amounts of danger and waves so high and causes flooding! very hazerdous!
What else can I help you with?
What is is it called when plate movement causes rocks to break?
When plate movement causes rocks to break it is call an earthquake.
When plate movement causes rocks to break it's called .?
At the region between the two plates, called a transform boundary, pent-up energy builds in the rock. A fault line, a break in the Earth's crust where blocks of crust are moving in different directions, will form. Most, though not all, earthquakes happen along transform boundary fault lines.
What powers the plate tectonics?
The plate tectonics are powered by the heat generated from the Earth's core. This heat causes the movement of molten rock in the mantle, creating convection currents that drive the movement of tectonic plates over the Earth's surface.
How do convection currents cause earthquakes?
Convection currents within Earth's mantle can create movement of tectonic plates, leading to stress build-up along plate boundaries. When this stress is released, it causes earthquakes. The movement of the convection currents keeps the tectonic plates in motion, contributing to ongoing seismic activity.
When plate movement causes rocks to break what is is called?
actually convection is wrong the correct answer would be called faulting
What movement does mantle convection currents cause?
They cause plate movement. The plate movement then causes an earthquake.
What is is it called when plate movement causes rocks to break?
When plate movement causes rocks to break it is call an earthquake.
What are the natural causes of an earthquake?
plate movement
What movement is happening in the bottom of the pacific ocean?
the movement in the plate tectonics causes the movement at the bottom of the pacific ocean
What is the transformed plate movement?
the transform plate movement is when the plates are sliding. this causes earthquakes. imagine one plate then across is another. one moves up and one down sliding.
What causes events such such as earthquakes volcanic eruptions and the creation of mountains?
lithospheric plate movement
What are five kinds of landforms causes by plate movement?
canyon valley and glaciers bro
What force causes the movement of the continents from one supercontinent to the present positions?
the movement of convection currents in the mantle is the cause of plate motion.
How does tectonic plate movement affect the environment?
It causes earthquakes when the plates hit each other.
What causes volcanoes to erupt under earths surface?
mostly earthquakes or plate tectonic movement.
What plate movement causes earthquake's but no volcano?
its the conservative plate
What type of energy transfer is thought to be the force of plate movement?
The force of plate movement is mainly driven by the transfer of heat energy through the process of convection in the Earth's mantle. This heat transfer causes convection currents that move the tectonic plates above them, leading to plate movement.
