Which Earth process can be caused by the movement of tectonic plates?
volcannic eruptions
What are the names of the tectonic plates that caused the haiti earthquake?
The North American and Caribbean tectonic plates caused the Haiti earthquake in 2010. The movement along the boundary between these two plates resulted in the devastating earthquake.
What is responsible for movement of tectonic plates in lower mantle?
The movement of tectonic plates in the lower mantle is primarily driven by the process of mantle convection. This is caused by the heat released from the Earth's core, which creates circulation patterns in the mantle that can cause the plates to move. The upwelling and downwelling of material in the mantle contribute to the lateral movement of tectonic plates.
Can landslides be caused by plates in the earth moving?
Indirectly. The movement of tectonic plates is the cause of the majority of earthquakes. Earthquakes can cause landslides.
What are tectonic plates driven by?
Tectonic plates are driven by the movement of material in the Earth's mantle. This movement is caused by heat from the Earth's core, which creates convection currents within the mantle. As the currents rise and cool, they push the tectonic plates apart, causing them to move across the Earth's surface.
What caused the 1952 Kamchatka earthquake?
the movement of the two tectonic plates
Which Earth process can be caused by the movement of tectonic plates?

What is caused by mass?
Mass movement is caused by gravity. (: also occurs when tectonic plates shift
What caused the 1952 Kamchatka Peninsula earthquake?

Earthquakes occur mainly allong the edges of?
Tectonic plates and fault lines created by the movement of tectonic plates.
What is tectonic earthquake means?
A tectonic earthquake is a sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust caused by the movement of tectonic plates. These earthquakes occur at plate boundaries where plates are colliding, sliding past one another, or moving apart. The stress built up from the movement of plates is released in the form of seismic waves, causing the ground to shake.
What is responsible for movement of tectonic plates in lower mantle?
The movement of tectonic plates in the lower mantle is primarily driven by the process of mantle convection. This is caused by the heat released from the Earth's core, which creates circulation patterns in the mantle that can cause the plates to move. The upwelling and downwelling of material in the mantle contribute to the lateral movement of tectonic plates.
What caused the shifting earth?
Convection in the earth's mantle drives the movement of the tectonic plates.
How are earthquakes and volcanoes related to the theory of the plate tectonics?
They are both caused by movement of tectonic plates.
