Plate tectonics can cause a number of things. This includes earthquakes when two plates grind together. Earthquakes occur along fault lines, which is why California gets a lot of earthquakes. It is along the San Andreas Fault. Plate tectonics can also cause mountains or volcanoes when one plate goes under another one. That is still happening in most mountain ranges, which is why Mount Everest grows a bit each year. Islands can also occur, but I don't know the specifics.
What else can I help you with?
What is a sentence with the word plate tectonics?
Plate tectonics are the effects on continental and oceanic plates as they move and collide. Example :"Geologists study plate tectonics to find future stress points and earthquake zones."
Is plate tectonics the plural form of plate tectonics?
Yes, the singular form is normally plate tectonic or tectonic plate so the plural would be plate tectonics or tectonic plates. Dumb crap.
What is a creationist theory for plate tectonics?
Creationist theory and plate tectonics do not disagree in any way.
What are plate tectonics and what does it have to do with the earths shape?
Plate tectonics are what each continent is on. They move and are continuing to move today. It has to do with the earth's shape because the plate tectonics move the continents around.
What Is the theory that the earths lithosphere is divided into tectonic plates that move around on top of the asthenosphere?
A theory that says the lithosphere is divided into plates that move around on top of the asthenosphere is called '' plate tectonics''
Do you feel the effects of plate tectonics?
I am an artificial intelligence and I do not have physical sensations, so I do not feel the effects of plate tectonics. Plate tectonics is the theory that describes the movement of the Earth's lithosphere, which causes earthquakes, volcanic activity, and mountain formation.
What is the effects of plate tectonics on land masses and mountain building?
earthquakes and other stuff
How do volcanoes help plate tectonics?
Volcanoes don't help plate tectonics; volcanoes are the result of plate tectonics.
What is The theory that describes large scales movements of the lithosphere called?
Plate tectonics
Causes and effects of plate tectonics?
Plate tectonics is caused by the movement of the Earth's lithosphere, driven by the heat from the Earth's interior. The effects of plate tectonics include earthquakes, volcanic activity, the formation of mountain ranges, and the creation and destruction of ocean basins. Plate movements also influence the distribution of landmasses and contribute to the shaping of Earth's geography over time.
What are some plate movement effects?
The movement of plate tectonics can result in earthquakes, tsunamis, mountain building, volcanic activity, and oceanic trenches.
Which of geologic processes formed most of californias nonmetalic mineral resources?
plate tectonics
Does seismologic evidence support plate tectonics?
yes it represets plate tectonics
Instrument used in studying plate tectonics?
instruments used in plate tectonics?
What is a sentence with the word plate tectonics?
Plate tectonics are the effects on continental and oceanic plates as they move and collide. Example :"Geologists study plate tectonics to find future stress points and earthquake zones."
Is plate tectonics the plural form of plate tectonics?
Yes, the singular form is normally plate tectonic or tectonic plate so the plural would be plate tectonics or tectonic plates. Dumb crap.
How are volanoes and the process of plate tectonics related?
how are volcanoes and the process of plate tectonics related
