They form mountains, volcanoes, and cause earth quakes.
Tectonic plates move in many different ways. They either slide one on top of the other which causes volcanoes or scrape past each other creating earthquakes.
They can collide with each otherOne plate may slide under another plate.They can slide past each other
tectonic plates move against each other essentially because of the movement of molten rock underneath the earth's surface or crust. This movement causes the plates to rub against each other.
The place where two tectonic plates move away from each other horizontally are called divergent plate boundaries.
when tectonic plates move toward each othe forms
All countries are located on tectonic plates - in fact the world is entirely covered with tectonic plates! Where different plates interact with each other the results can affect the countries locally. Where plates push together you can get volcanoes and earthquakes (an example is Japan.) Where plates pull apart there is usually lots of ocean but you can get some calm volcanism, (an example being Iceland.) Where plates rub past one another there can be earthquakes. An example would be the west coast of the USA and the San Andreas Fault.)
When plates slide past each other, move toward each other, and move away from each other.
They can collide with each otherOne plate may slide under another plate.They can slide past each other
Tectonic Plates move by trying to push past each other and by trying to slide past each other.
Anywhere there are tectonic plates, and when two tectonic plates hit each other

No. When tectonic plates move away from each other they can cause an ocean to spread.
The tectonic plates
When tectonic plates move and grind against each other, this is an earthquake. If the moving of tectonic plates were to occur beneath the ocean's surface, the result would be a tsunami.
At tectonic plate boundaries, earthquake zones, and the edges of tectonic plates.
tectonic plates move against each other essentially because of the movement of molten rock underneath the earth's surface or crust. This movement causes the plates to rub against each other.
there tectonic plates under the water. so when the tectonic plates are moved or hit each other means there will be an earthquake.
Beacause plates, at tectonic, boundaries shift against each other.
