Do you feel the effects of plate tectonics?
Yes, earthquakes are an affect of plate tectonics.
How are crustal features related to plate tectonics?
well i think that it is that plate tectonics are when they move by earthquakes and crustal features are when they discribe the crustal and the plate tectonics.
What theory explains the movement of pieces of earths surface?
theory of plate tectonics
The theory of plate tectonics helps to explain what?
The theory of plate tectonics helps to explain how earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur.
What are the disadvantages of plate tectonics?
they cause bare tsunami's and earthquakes init

How does plate tectonics affect forest animals?
earthquakes are caused by plate tectonics and earthquakes destroy forests. volcanoes can erupt then also destroy forests and that destroys animals and their homes. forest animals can get affected by plate tectonics in other ways too.

Plate tectonics and earthquakes related?
Yes, earthquakes happen when the tectonic plates 'slip'.
