What are two ways the movement of earths plates changes the earths surface?
The movement of Earth's plates can create geological features like mountains and volcanoes through processes such as subduction and continental collision. It can also lead to earthquakes when plates shift along faults in the Earth's crust.
What is a earthquack?
An earthquake is when two of the earths' plates shift to release tension between the two.
How do earthquakes build up?
The shifting of the Earths Techtonic Plates is what causes earthquakes. The earths crust is floating on top of a layer of magma. When two of earths techtonic plates shift and rub up against eachother, they get caught, because they are rigid, not smooth. When they finally get uncaught, they move very fast and that is what causes the shaking, as does the rubbing up against eachother.
What do you call the moving irregularly shaped slabs that make up the earths lithosphere?
Tectonic plates are the moving irregularly shaped slabs that make up the Earth's lithosphere. These plates constantly shift and interact with each other, leading to phenomena such as earthquakes and volcanic activity.
Earths lithosphere is made of huge pieces of solid rock is called ..?
Lithospheric plates.
What are cracks in earths crust that move or shift?
Tectonic plates.
Why did Virginia quake happened?
because there was a shift in the earths plates
Does the earths pull make earthquakes?
No, it it is when two plates come together in a sudden shift.
Why do earthquakes and volcanoes occur?
because of the plates in earth shift fast and the force causes the earth to shake.

What plates are in earths structure?
Techtonic plates

Why do Hawaiian Islands move?
They move because the plates in Earths mantle shift and cause the island to move slightly. As the plates move around they cause changes in Earths landforms. The more pressure is on the plates the more they move around. Because of Japans tsunami and earthquakes, the plates were moved around to Hawaii and possibly could have caused an island to move. If you wander what plates are well they are rigid blocks of crust and upper mantle rock.
What forces below earth surface shape landforms?
The tectonic plates below earths surface shape earths landforms

What are plates that are part of the earths outer layer called?
Tectonic Plates.
How many major plates compose earths surface?
there are 8 plates
