harry hess named the tectonic plates but I'm not sure why =/
Tectonic plates and fault lines created by the movement of tectonic plates.
Interactions between tectonic plates occur at plate boundaries.
PLATES
Tectonic plates move from east to west as a whole due to the coreolis (not sure of spelling) effect.
all countries are on tectonic plates because everything on the surface of the earth is on tectonic plates. be more specific with your questions.
75 of them are named.
Tectonic plate are named after portions of the Earth that they support, such as the Eurasian Plate and the African Plate.
The place where tectonic plates come together is named an Destructive Boundary
Most tectonic plates are named after the continents or regions they are associated with, such as the North American Plate, South American Plate, and Eurasian Plate. Some plates are also named after geological features, like the Pacific Plate named after the Pacific Ocean.
They are called tectonic or lithospheric plates.
Tectonic plates and fault lines created by the movement of tectonic plates.
Tectonic plates are also "Continental Crust" and "Oceanic Crust". Also lithospheric plates.
Yes, tectonic plates are also known as crustal plates.
there are 7 huge plates but dozens of smaller 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.
Yes. Tectonic plates are in fact mostly solid.
No the tectonic plates are on top of the crust.
