How many tectonic plates are located in Bali?
Bali is located on two tectonic plates, the Australian Plate and the Eurasian Plate. These plates interact along the Sunda Megathrust, which can result in seismic activity in the region.
Is Mt Eyjafjallajokull on 1 or 2 tectonic plates?

C There are two types of tectonic plates oceanic and continental what is the difference between these two types of plates?
The lithosphere displaces the asthenoshpere. Thick tectonic plates, such as those made of continental crust, displace more asthenosphere than do thin plates, such as those made of oceanic lithosphere.

Do mountains change size if so how?
Mountains are made by two tectonic plates moving into each other, causing them both two move upwards. As the world spins, the two tectonic plates crash into each other more and more, until they both move up a bit more. Example, Mount Everest grows two inches every year. Thanks, hopes this helps
What plates are under mount laki?
Mount Laki is located in Iceland, so the tectonic plates underneath it are the Eurasian Plate and the North American Plate. Iceland sits on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge where these two plates are moving apart, causing volcanic activity in the region.
