As plates move what happens when pressure builds up and then rocks break?
The plates collide together and they break apart...

What is the relationship between plate boundaries and where earthquakes happen?
Plate boundaries are the absolute edges of the tectonic plates that make up our earth's crust. These plate boundaries clash with others making what are known as fault lines, which are the cause of earthquakes.

What are the differences between oceanic crust and continental crust in age terms?
Overall their materials are of the same age, but the continental plates simply break or collide whereas the ocean-floor plates are in constant cycles of construction and destruction.

What is a volcanic and tectonic?
Type your answer ... The crust of our planet is cracked into seven large and many other smaller slabs of rock called plates, averaging about 50 miles thick. As they move (only inches per year), and depending on the direction of that movement, they collide, forming deep ocean trenches, mountains, volcanoes, and generating earthquakes.
The collision theory states that in order for a reaction to occur the particles must come together and collide with each other with enough to break the bonds and form new ones?

Which occurs at a lower stress value ductile deformation or elastic deformation?
Ductile deformation is when rock is given enough stress to break. If the stress is less, it will bend but not break.
How does the motion of a plate produce a chain of islands?
Well, you need more then one plate and the plates collide and they rise. That makes mountains. Now, islands, i think they cause the land to break up into islands. This is because an earthquake may occur.
