What does moving of techtonic plates cause?
Moving of tectonic plates causes earthquakes, volcanic activity, and the formation of mountain ranges when plates collide or pull apart. These movements also contribute to the creation of ocean basins and continents over long periods of time.
What part of earth contains plates?
The lithosphere is the part of the Earth that contains tectonic plates. These plates are divided pieces of the lithosphere that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath them.
What happens as earths mantle drags on the bottom of techtonic plates?
As Earth's mantle drags on the bottom of tectonic plates, it creates stress and friction that can cause the plates to move. This movement can result in various tectonic activities such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and the formation of mountain ranges as the plates interact with each other.
I am part of lithosphere but you move around on top of the asthenosphere?
You are part of the rigid outer shell of the Earth known as the lithosphere. The lithosphere floats and moves on the semi-fluid layer beneath it called the asthenosphere due to plate tectonics. This movement of the lithospheric plates atop the asthenosphere is responsible for phenomena like earthquakes and volcanic activity.
What layer moves underneath the techtonic plates?
The aesthenosphere, which is located in the top part of the Earth's mantle is the layer lying underneath the tectonic plates. Collective movement in these plates cause a gradual rise in the aesthenosphere, thereby resulting to land elevation.
What are earths techtonic plates made of?
massive rocks
What plates are in earths structure?
Techtonic plates
How does a earthquakes place affect tsunamis?
when the techtonic plates move, they can make an earthquake, that then may trigger techtonic plates to move and begin waves that become a tsunami
What is the type of boundary where techtonic plates separate?
Divergent
What is the cause of earth quake?
the techtonic plates moving, earthquakes mainly happen on the crakes in the techtonic plates like new zealand has quite a few because they are on a crack.
How does plate movement change land?
land is on plates plates move so does land techtonic plates
What makes the earth crust move?
The vibration of the techtonic plates. :)
What are 2 ways techtonic plates can collide?
tension and compression:)
What are the techtonic plates called under each of the conttinents?
there are many
Where and how do most mountains form?
mostly on techtonic plates by volcanos
Are earthquakes and volcanoes both caused by techtonic plates?
yes
What kind of boundary is found where two plates move away from each other?
techtonic plates
