plates that shift under the surface of the earth on lava
referring to the theory of plate tectonics
Under all the 5 continents. You might think that there are 7 or 6 but there is a tectonic plate under both South America and North America, then on for Europe, Asia, Africa, Oceana and Antarctica

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.
Are tectonic plates located in the mantle of the Earth?
Yes, tectonic plates are located in the Earth's lithosphere, which is the outermost layer of the Earth's surface, not in the mantle.
Which tectonic plates are located along the Prime Meridian?
The tectonic plates located along the Prime Meridian are the Eurasian Plate and the African Plate.
Is Mt Eyjafjallajokull on 1 or 2 tectonic plates?
Mt Eyjafjallajökull (whew!) is on 2 different tectonic plates.
Countries located near or on the tectonic plates?
All countries are located on tectonic plates - in fact the world is entirely covered with tectonic plates! Where different plates interact with each other the results can affect the countries locally. Where plates push together you can get volcanoes and earthquakes (an example is Japan.) Where plates pull apart there is usually lots of ocean but you can get some calm volcanism, (an example being Iceland.) Where plates rub past one another there can be earthquakes. An example would be the west coast of the USA and the San Andreas Fault.)

The tectonic plates are located in a layer that is?
The tectonic plates are located in Earth's lithosphere, which is the outermost layer of the planet. The lithosphere is divided into several large and small tectonic plates that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere below. Movements of these plates are responsible for earthquakes, volcanic activity, and the shaping of Earth's surface features.
Where are the major tectonic plates located?
there is the eurasian plate which is located in europe.
Where are volcanoes normally located?
Over tectonic plates.
Why are most of the earthquakes and volcanoes located at the border of the tectonic plates?
Beacause plates, at tectonic, boundaries shift against each other.
Are all tectonic plates located at earth's core?
No tectonic plates are in or even near the earth's core! The tectonic plates are fragments of the earth's crust. At subduction zones the edge of the subducting tectonic plate descends as much as a few hundred miles down into the earth's mantle before melting and becoming part of the mantle.
Is Mt Eyjafjallajokull on 1 or 2 tectonic plates?
Mt Eyjafjallajökull (whew!) is on 2 different tectonic plates.
Are earthquakes and volcanos located near tectonic plates?
yes
Where are tectonic plates located?
Tectonic plates are located within the Earth's lithosphere, which is the outermost layer of the Earth. These plates float on top of the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath them. The movement of these plates is responsible for various geological phenomena like earthquakes, volcanic activity, and mountain building.
What are the countries in the tectonic plate?
all countries are on tectonic plates because everything on the surface of the earth is on tectonic plates. be more specific with your questions.
