What triggers the earthquake?
Earth is made up of many tectonic plates. When these plates shift, earthquakes happen. The tectonic plates are always moving, but most of the earthquakes are tremors (depends on how close you are to the place the tectonic plates are shifting).
What do shifting tectonic cause?
shifting tectonic plates cause continents to move a few inches every year. also, if the plates start rubbing against each other, they can cause severe earthquakes. plates hitting and pushing toward each other can form mountains or volcanoes.
Can tectonic move quickly generally shifting one mile each year?
Tectonic plates generally move at a rate of a few centimeters per year, not one mile. The average movement is around 2 to 10 centimeters annually, depending on the specific plate and its location. While this may seem slow, over millions of years, it results in significant geological changes. Rapid shifts, such as during earthquakes, can occur but are not representative of typical tectonic movement.
What does it mean when tectonic plates slip?
Shifting,sliding,diverging ,converging etc . of tectonic plates.
Do scientists believe that continental drift is real?
Yes. They believe that the shifting of the tectonic plates under the earth caused it.
Is it true that tectonic plates move quickly generally shifting one mile each year?
Tectonic plates move at a rate of a few centimeters to a few inches per year, not one mile. The movement of tectonic plates is gradual and occurs due to geological forces acting over long periods of time.
What cause earthquakestsunamis and landslides?
Shifting of tectonic plates.

Are volcanoes and earthquakes manmade?
No. They are caused by the shifting of tectonic plates.
Why is ice land getting larger?
has to do with the shifting of tectonic plates
Why you have an earthquake?
the tectonic plates are shifting under the earths surface.
What cause earthquakes tsunamis and landslides?

How does earthquake causes?
Tectonic plates shifting or colliding with each other
What r the causes of earthquake?

What processes do scientist infer to have shaped earths surface in the past?
The shifting of Tectonic Plates.
