How is tectonic movement caused?
Tectonic plates are moved by hot lava under the crust.
What Weather causes an Earthquake?
Earthquakes are not caused by weather. The are caused by movement of tectonic plates.
What are 2 causes of earthquake?
earthquakes can be caused by either tectonic or volcanic. Tectonic earthquakes are caused by movement of tectonic plates underneath the earth surface. Volcanic earthquakes are caused by volcanic activities underneath or above earth's surface.
What are Cracks in the ground caused by earthquakes called?

What are strong shaking movement of the Earths curst called?

What causes volcanoes and earthquacks?
Volcanoes are caused by the rising of magma in the earths mantle and earthquakes are caused by the colliding of the earths tectonic plates against one another.
What are earthquakes tsunamis and volcano caused by?
They are all caused by the Earths The Earths Tectonic PLates. e.g When there is a crack or fracture in a tectonic plate the pressure slowley builds up until it if released. This can cause tsunamis if the plate is underwater or an earthquake if it is not.
Most geologists thinks that the movement of earths plates is caused by?
Geologists have hypothesized that the movement of tectonic plates is related to convection currents in the earth's mantle. Convection currents describe the rising, spread, and sinking of gas, liquid, or molten material caused by the application of heat.
