Where do tectonic plates interact?
Interactions between tectonic plates occur at plate boundaries.
What tectonic plates caused the earthquake?
PLATES
In what direction do tectonic plates go?
Tectonic plates move from east to west as a whole due to the coreolis (not sure of spelling) effect.
What does the earths crust consist of that moves?

What is the plate that consist primarily of the earth's outer crust?
They are known as tectonic plates.
Do tectonic plates consist of continental or oceanic crust?
They can be either continental or oceanic crust.
Does a tectonic plate have just a continent?
No. Most tectonic plates that carry a continent also include a significant amount of seafloor. Some plates consist almost entirely of oceanic crust.
What are the large thin plates that move relative to one another on the outer surface of earth called?
They are called tectonic or lithospheric plates.
What are the crust and lithosphere?
It consist of large sections called tectonic plates, which move relative to each other.
What are the plates that make up Earth's crust?
Tectonic plates
How does the theory of plate tectonics describe the earth's crust?
The tectonic plates consist of crust and the outermost part of the mantle.
The lithosphere is broken up into sections called?
Tectonic plates
I am part of lithosphere but you move around on top of the asthenosphere?
The answer is Tectonic Plates
What is the difference between Continental plates and Tectonic plates?
Continental plates are tectonic plates. They are tectonic plates upon which continents rest, and they move as do all tectonic plates. Basically, there is no difference, other than the fact that oceanic plates are another type of tectonic plate.
