The three tectonic plates that affect California's geology are the North American plate, the Pacific plate and the Gorda plate (which is sometimes referred to as the souther portion of the Juan de Fuca plate).
They are called tectonic or lithospheric plates.
there are 7 huge plates but dozens of smaller plates
Continental plates are tectonic plates. They are tectonic plates upon which continents rest, and they move as do all tectonic plates. Basically, there is no difference, other than the fact that oceanic plates are another type of tectonic plate.
There are three major tectonic plates that play a role in the geology of Delhi: the Indian Plate, the Eurasian Plate, and the Tibetan Plate. The collision and interactions between these plates contribute to the seismic activity in the region.
Sacramento, California is on the North American Plate near the boundary with the Pacific Plate. As these plates grind against each other it creates earthquakes that can affect the area.
In theory, tectonic plates. http://www.ucmp.berkeley.edu/geology/tectonics.html
The tectonic plates combined together
It's a shift in the Earth's tectonic plates.
It will move the tectonic plates
when tectonic plate collides with other tectonic plates or moves into another tectonic plate it affects surface in a way to create mountains. Like Himalayas are created when the indian tectonic plate collided with asian tectonic plate.
It will move the tectonic plates
Convection Currents affect earth by slowly moving the tectonic plates
Movement of tectonic plates can cause seafloor spreading and reversal of Earth's magnetic field, which can affect the organisms that are not adapted to the geological enviroment.
If plates move enough continents will lose more land under the water and people will have to move
They are called tectonic or lithospheric plates.
Tectonic plates and fault lines created by the movement of tectonic plates.
Tectonic plates are also "Continental Crust" and "Oceanic Crust". Also lithospheric plates.
