What else can I help you with?
Why do you see only the dry land areas of tectonic plates on a typical world map?
World maps typically show the dry land areas of tectonic plates because these are the visible parts of the Earth's crust. The boundaries of tectonic plates are often marked by geological features such as mountain ranges, earthquakes, and volcanic activity, which are easier to observe on land than in the oceans. Additionally, the distribution of continents and oceans is influenced by the movement of tectonic plates.
Tectonic plates float on a layer of the earth called the?
The outer layer of the earth where the land masses are is called the crust
What is a low tract of land between hills called?
A low tract of land between hills is called a valley. Valleys are typically formed by the movement of glaciers, erosion by rivers, or the shifting of tectonic plates. They are often fertile areas due to the accumulation of sediment and water.
What are the largest areas of land on Earth called?
In general, we call the largest areas of land on earth the continents of the earth.
What are small areas of land called?
Small areas of land are typically called plots, lots, or parcels. They are usually smaller portions of a larger piece of land that can be used for various purposes such as building a house, growing crops, or as part of a development project.
What is it called when plates diverge on land?
tectonic plates
Why do grounding plates work better in the desert areas?
Grounding plates work better in the desert areas because of the vast land.
What do you call the area where land drops to the ocean floor?
The edges of the continental plates under water are called the continental shelf.
What are tectonic plates how were continents formed?
these are the plates under the land and they are spins round and when they meet and they form the continents
What happens if an earthquake is under land?
Most earthquakes are under land. An earthquake is caused by tectonic plates shifting and/or colliding together.
What is the Plate under the ocean?
Techtonic plates move under the earth moving land and water.

Are plates any where else but under the sea?
Yes. All of Earth's crust, both on land and on the seafloor, is composed of tectonic plates.
How do tectonic plates affect the earth?
If plates move enough continents will lose more land under the water and people will have to move
Tectonic plates float on a layer of the earth called the?
The outer layer of the earth where the land masses are is called the crust
How does plate movement change land?
land is on plates plates move so does land techtonic plates
The movement of plates to form land masses is called?
The answer is true plate tectionics
