What is the difference between Continental plates and Tectonic 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.
Where is the biggest visible tectonic plates?
The largest tectonic plate is the Pacific Plate, which covers the Pacific Ocean. It is visible in some locations where it interacts with other plates, such as along the western coast of North and South America.
How many tectonic plates do we have?
there are 7 huge plates but dozens of smaller plates
What do tectonic plates move?
Tectonic Plates move by trying to push past each other and by trying to slide past each other.
What events occur when the tectonic plates move and grind against each other?
When tectonic plates move and grind against each other, this is an earthquake. If the moving of tectonic plates were to occur beneath the ocean's surface, the result would be a tsunami.

Where do earthquakes form and where they are find?
Anywhere there are tectonic plates, and when two tectonic plates hit each other

Why are most of the earthquakes and volcanoes located at the border of the tectonic plates?
Beacause plates, at tectonic, boundaries shift against each other.
What layer moves at tectonic plates?
The lithosphere is the layer that moves with the tectonic plates. The lithosphere is made up of the crust and the upper part of the mantle, and it is broken into tectonic plates that move and interact with each other.
What kind of plates bump into each other?
tectonic
Is it true that when tectonic plates slide past each other they create a spreading of an ocean?
No. When tectonic plates move away from each other they can cause an ocean to spread.
What are underground plates called?
Underground plates are called tectonic plates. These plates are large pieces of the Earth's lithosphere that move and interact with each other, causing phenomena such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
What triggers the earthquake?
Earth is made up of many tectonic plates. When these plates shift, earthquakes happen. The tectonic plates are always moving, but most of the earthquakes are tremors (depends on how close you are to the place the tectonic plates are shifting).
