The Southern part of California is on the Pacific plate and the Northern part of California is on the North American plate.
What else can I help you with?
Where plates tectonics move past each other?
Plates tectonics move past each other at transform boundaries, where two plates slide horizontally past each other. This movement can cause earthquakes as the plates grind against each other. An example of a transform boundary is the San Andreas Fault in California.
What is it called when two plates cause a volcanic eruption?
Plate tectonics
What occurs when two tectonics plates move away from each other?
mid-ocean ridges and volcanoes
What four features of California geology does plate tectonics explain?
The movements of the pacific and north American plates produced California's major geological features
What is the study of lithospheric plates?
plate tectonics

How can you define plate tectonics not plate tectonics theory?
But plate tectonics is the theory which suggests that the Earth's crust is made up of solid plates moving relative to each other. Plate tectonics and the plate tectonics theory aren't really two separate things. However plates are pieces of the Earth's crust which are moving.
How do you plates tectonics and the theory of plate tectonics?
They are the same thing.
How are plates moving at a sliding boundary?
In plate tectonics, a sliding boundary is considered a transform fault where the two merging plates slide past each other in the opposite direction. A great example of a transform fault would be in California along the San Andreas fault line.
What two crusts do plate tectonics have?
The Earth's lithosphere is divided into two types of crust: continental crust, which is thicker and less dense, and oceanic crust, which is thinner and more dense. The movement of these two types of crust against each other is what drives the process of plate tectonics on Earth.
What were the two plate tectonics that formed the ring of fire?
There are more than two plates involved in the ring of fire.
How do you plates tectonics and the theory of plate tectonics relate?
They are the same thing.
Where do two plates most often move past each other?
I think it is plate tectonics
What are plates in the Earth's crust?
the tectonics plates will stick together.
How does plate tectonics affect California?
Much of California is laying on top of the San Andreas fault. For this reason, California tends to have frequent earthquakes as the adjoining plates move beside each other.
