What plates are in earths structure?
Techtonic plates
Where volcanoes and earthquakes occur?
Anywhere where the earths plates meet. Earthquakes occur only were there is an epicenter. Were ever the epicenter is the earthquake will happen.
What occurs on faults?
The tectonic plates underneath the earths crust are moving, and these plates crash into, and slide against each other. These places where the plates meet are called fault lines. Since the plates are constantly moving, there is a lot of pressure between the plates, and eventually, it needs to be released in the form of an earthquake.
Do tsunamis have a connection to the movement of the earths plates?
yes, it does have connection of the earths plates because when two plates go together it burst water under the ocean
The earths surface is broken into large pieces what are they called?
Tectonic Plates
What forces below earth surface shape landforms?

What are moving pieces under the earths surface that form the earths crust?
The answer is tectonic plates floating on the lithosphere. Does that answer your question? LOL :)
