What happens when one of the earth's plate goes under the other?
Either a volcano or earthquake happens.You see..if a plate goes under one,magma begins to turn the plate into a volcano and it erupts.The weaker plate goes under.SORRY FOR THE HORRIBLE DEMONSTRATION.HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND.
Where does energy come from that causes the earth to change?
From the core of the Earth and plate tectonics.
What happens when plate tectonics shift?
earth quakes
How does plate tectonics affect earth's surface?
i think the earth gets effected from the moving plates wich effects the earth because when the two plates move it causes tiny vibrations They affect earth by colliding on one another that causes an earthquake or tsunami
Why does the shape of the earth's oceans and continents continue to change?
Due to plate tectonics still moving, it causes the Earth's oceans and continents to continue moving.

What happens when a plate boundary collides with a new plate boundary?
It creates a violent wave through the earth and when it reaches the surface it causes the ground to shake also known as an earth quake
What happens when a slip of a plate occurs close to the earth surface?
the friction causes the plates to slip ;) in more ways than others :p
What causes earthquakes and volcaneos?
Earthquakes are caused by Earth's Tectonic movements.. Volcano is caused by the movement of molten lava inside Earth..

What happens when plate tectonics shift?
earth quakes
What are some causes for the changing the earth's surface?
plate tectonics
What drives plate motion inside earth?
convection currents
What is happening where two earth plate meet?
A tsunami happens.
What inside Earth might drive plate motion?
convection currents
What happens when 2 Continental plate collide?
it causes mountains and sometimes earthquakes
What happens when the earth's plate move apart over time?
earthquakes
