Plate interactions can cause earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and the formation of mountains. These interactions occur at plate boundaries where plates are either moving apart, sliding past each other, or colliding.

What are the three main symbols representing plate interactions?

The three main symbols representing plate interactions are convergent boundaries (symbolized by a "V" or "+"), divergent boundaries (symbolized by a "<" or ">"), and transform boundaries (symbolized by a single line).


What processes within Earth cause geologic activity?

Plate interactions and Earthquakes. Also Convection Currents!! How earthquakes occur is when volcanoes erupt a earthquake happens some where in the world. when a Convection Currents happen inside the in the mantle!! Plate interactions create a folded mountain!!

What is the movement and interactions of plates called?

It's generally referred to as plate tectonics.


How do plate tectonics cause earth quakes?

Plate tectonics move. But the plate margin that cause strong earthquakes are collision and conservative plate margins. I hope it helped!


How do plates cause earthquakes and what are the mechanisms behind their interactions leading to seismic activity?

Tectonic plates cause earthquakes when they move against each other, creating stress that eventually releases as seismic energy. The main mechanisms behind their interactions include subduction, where one plate slides beneath another, and transform boundaries, where plates slide past each other horizontally. These interactions can result in sudden movements that generate earthquakes.


What movement does mantle convection currents cause?

They cause plate movement. The plate movement then causes an earthquake.


Where do tectonic plates interact?
