How many tectonic plates meet in the middle of America?
Three tectonic plates meet in the middle of America: the North American Plate, the Pacific Plate, and the Juan de Fuca Plate. This convergent boundary is responsible for the formation of the Rocky Mountains.
Why don't we have volcanoes in North America?
volcanoes usually form at the edges of tectonic plates, which is one of the reasons that there are many in the Ring Of Fire. North America is not really located at the edge of many plates so there are not that many volcanoes.
How have tectonic plates affected latin Americas physical geography?
Many parts of Latin America experience volcanic activity and earthquakes. This is due to the movement of five tectonic plates. The two highest mountain peaks in Mexico are volcanoes.
How is lithosphere divided and how many plates were there?
Tectonic plates, 3 plates
How many tectonic plates do we have?
there are 7 huge plates but dozens of smaller plates

How many tectonic plates are in Central America?

What is the name of the tectonic process that has created many of the mountains in Middle and South America?
Most mountains are formed by convergent tectonic plate movements. In this process, tectonic plates crash into each other causing land masses to rise up out of the ground. These processes have formed many of the mountains in Central and South America.
How many tectonic plates are depicted in this setting?
There are seven tectonic plates depicted in this setting.

How many layers does the tectonic plates have?
59
Earth's crust is divided into many different tectonic 'what'?
Tectonic or lithospheric plates.
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).
