What else can I help you with?
What are the plates called of a divergent plate boundary?
tectonic plates. just because they are convergent doesnt change the fact that they are tectonic..
What are the large thin plates that move relative to one another on the outer surface of earth called?
They are called tectonic or lithospheric plates.
What occurs when ground near tectonic plates shift and change position?
Earthquake
How many tectonic plates do we have?
there are 7 huge plates but dozens of smaller plates
What is the difference between Continental plates and Tectonic plates?
Continental plates are tectonic plates. They are tectonic plates upon which continents rest, and they move as do all tectonic plates. Basically, there is no difference, other than the fact that oceanic plates are another type of tectonic plate.
In what direction do tectonic plates go?
Tectonic plates move from east to west as a whole due to the coreolis (not sure of spelling) effect.
What causes these continent change?
the tectonic plates
What are the plates called of a divergent plate boundary?
tectonic plates. just because they are convergent doesnt change the fact that they are tectonic..
Is tectonic plates a slow or fast change?
Tectonic plates move very slowly, but earthquakes are quite sudden. So, there are elements of slow change and fast change. Continental drift is slow.
Are in constant motion and change the form of the earth's crust?
tectonic plates.
What are the large thin plates that move relative to one another on the outer surface of earth called?
They are called tectonic or lithospheric plates.
What occurs when ground near tectonic plates shift and change position?
Earthquake
Earthquakes occur mainly allong the edges of?
Tectonic plates and fault lines created by the movement of tectonic plates.
What can tectonic plates also be called instead of tectonic plates?
Tectonic plates are also "Continental Crust" and "Oceanic Crust". Also lithospheric plates.
Can tectonic plates known as crustle plates?
Yes, tectonic plates are also known as crustal plates.
Who named the tectonic plates tectonic and why?
harry hess named the tectonic plates but I'm not sure why =/
Why does the rate of movement of tectonic plates change?
The rate of movement of tectonic plates can change due to forces acting on them, such as convection currents in the mantle or the collision of plates. These forces can speed up or slow down the movement of the plates over time.
