What else can I help you with?
What happens when two plates pull away from each other in opposite directions?
When any fault occurs or tectonic plates pull away from each other under the ground. An earthquake happens.
What does the theory of plate tectonics say about tectonic plates on the crust?
The theory of plate tectonics states that the Earth's outer shell, or crust, is divided into several large pieces known as tectonic plates. These plates float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath them and interact with each other through processes like seafloor spreading, subduction, and continental drift. Movement of these tectonic plates is responsible for various geological phenomena such as earthquakes, volcanic activity, and mountain formation.
Why is it hard for scientists to predict when two tectonic plates meet?
It is difficult to predict when two tectonic plates will meet because the movement of tectonic plates is influenced by a complex interaction of various factors such as plate velocity, friction, and geological structures. These factors make it challenging to accurately forecast the timing and location of plate boundaries or collisions. Additionally, the Earth's crust is constantly changing, making it hard to predict any specific event with certainty.
How are earthquakes and volcanoes related to tectonic plates?
Tectonic plates- any of several large pieces of the Earth's lithosphere which participate in plate tectonicsEarthquakes are when the plates move too much, and volcanoes hapen when there is a large gap in the plates. The magma/lava comes through the crust of the earth making an ignious rock mountain. aka a volcano
Does Venus have tectonic plates?
No, Venus does not have tectonic plates like Earth. Venus is believed to have a single, thick lithosphere that does not appear to be broken into separate plates. Instead, the planet may have a more global style of tectonics.
Are plates any where else but under the sea?
Yes. All of Earth's crust, both on land and on the seafloor, is composed of tectonic plates.
Name any three type of plates?
Dinner plates, tectonic plates, and Norman Rockwell collectible plates.
What is the predicted?
The earthquake predictions depend on everyday life because the tectonic plates move a few micrometres each day. where two tectonic plates meet is called a convergent boundary and this causes an earthquake but look online and if you live in New Zealand by any chance the likelyhood of an earthquake is reasonably high. Adam.
What happens when two plates pull away from each other in opposite directions?
When any fault occurs or tectonic plates pull away from each other under the ground. An earthquake happens.
What isn't a tectonic plate boundary?
Any area where two or more tectonic plates do not touch each other is a not a tectonic plate boundary.
Are their any tectonic plates under Lake Erie?
Everything on the surface of the earth is on a tectonic plate. All the Great Lakes and in fact all of the U.S. and Canada except for Hawaii and part of California are on the same tectonic plate: the North American Plate.

Is there any pattern or specific areas tsunami occur?
A Tsunami Cannot be predicted under any pattern. They occur generally as the result of an earthquake. This means at the edge of tectonic plates, called a fault line.
Is there going to be any more earthquake?
Yes. There will always be earthquakes due to the earth's tectonic plates
Why does the Australian continent has very few earthquakes?
Australia isnt on the edge of any tectonic plates
Are any mountain forming today?
Yes, mountains are still forming today through processes such as tectonic plate movements, volcanic activity, and erosion. These ongoing geologic processes contribute to the growth and alteration of mountain ranges around the world.
Where do volcanos occur?
They occur in many places. Like Hawaii They can occur in any place were the tectonic plates move.
