What are moving pieces under the earths surface that form the earths crust?
Tectonic plates are the moving pieces under the Earth's surface that form the Earth's crust. These plates float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere and interact with each other through processes like subduction, spreading, and collision, which contribute to the shaping of Earth's surface features.
The tectonic plates float on what layer of earth?
The earth's tectonic plates are said to "float" on layers of magma, which is molten, or very hot liquid rock deep under the surface of theearth.
What tectonic plates are under etna?
Its under the South American Plate
When tectonic plates press together or pull apart they sometimes break under pressure what does this create in the Earth's surface?
When tectonic plates break under pressure, it creates fractures or faults in the Earth's surface. These faults can lead to earthquakes as the built-up strain is released along the break, causing the plates to move suddenly.
Where would you find the tectonic plates?
Anywhere under your feet.
Why you have an earthquake?
the tectonic plates are shifting under the earths surface.
What moves the ocean floor?
the tectonic plates under the earths surface

How do most mountains form?
when tectonic plates under the surface collide together and push up

What is under the tectonic plates under ground?
Tectonic plates move because they are floating on top of the liquid mantle.
What kind of plates are under Japan's?
Tectonic plates
Why do earthqakes form?
Earhtquakes form when tectonic plates under the Earth's surface shift, causing the ground to shake.
What caused the tectonic plates?
they are plates under the crust that move when are shifted
How are tectonic plates involved in causing earthquakes and volcanoes?
the tectonic plates shake under the earth causing earthquakes
What tectonic plates are under etna?
Its under the South American Plate
What do tectonic plates lay directly under what?
magma.
