How does ash in earths atmosphere affect solar radition?
tectonic plate movement
What tectonic plate is Russia on?
huh? what is a tectonic plate?
How do the positions of the plates affect the positions of the continents?
Continents are on primary tectonic plates. So any movement of a particular plate or position of a particular plate will affect the position of the corresponding continent.
Which tectonic plate is Beijing on?
The Eurasian Plate
What kind of plate is the South American plate?
Tectonic plate
How does plates affect the surface of the surface?
when tectonic plate collides with other tectonic plates or moves into another tectonic plate it affects surface in a way to create mountains. Like Himalayas are created when the indian tectonic plate collided with asian tectonic plate.
How do plate tectonics explains mudslides tornadoes ocean currents and trenches?
Plate tectonic only directly explains ocean trenches. An ocean trench forms when an oceanic plate collides with another plate and slides under it. Mudslides are most likely to occur in in hilly or mountainous areas. Most mountains have been formed by tectonic activity. Ocean currents are influenced by climate and the arrangement of the continents. While plate tectonics does change the positions of the continents, it does not directly affect climate. Tornadoes have nothing to do with plate tectonics; they are weather events.

tectonic plate movement
What one way tectonic plate movement affects climate?
I think it keeps the air temp. constant.
What tectonic plate is Russia on?

How do tectonic plate movements affected climate?
They don't directly, but the associated volcanism may, if sufficiently powerful, cause temporary climate changes by shooting vast quantities of gas and dust high into the atmosphere. Plate collisions can also cause mountain ranges to form which can affect regional climates. For instance, the climate of the Atacama Desert is largely due to the rise of the Andes Mountain Chain, the product of plate collision. Merging and separating continents can also affect climate patterns by altering ocean currents and air circulation patterns.
What is the difference between plate tectonic and tectonic plate?
Plate Tectonics is the process by by which the earth's tectonic plates move.
What tectonic plate is in the continent of Africa on?
The tectonic plate is called the African Plate.
Are plate tectonic plate boundaries?
No, plate boundaries is part of the explanation of the Plate Tectonic theory:)
How plate tectonics affect climate?
by changing ocean circulation
How do high temperatures affect tectonics?
They don't. Weather and climate has no affect on plate tectonics.
How does tectonic plate movement affect the environment?
It causes earthquakes when the plates hit each other.
