Why do some places in the world have more natural disasters than others?
Because of the tectonic plates. Some countries are on the edge of tectonic plates.
What are the large thin plates that move relative to one another on the outer surface of earth called?
They are called tectonic or lithospheric plates.
How many tectonic plates do we have?
there are 7 huge plates but dozens of smaller plates
What physical features do the countries in the eastern Balkans share?
Countries in the eastern Balkans share the physical feature of having a diverse landscape that includes mountain ranges, rivers, and coastlines along the Black Sea. Additionally, these countries are prone to seismic activity due to their location along the meeting point of several tectonic plates.
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.
What are the countries in the tectonic plate?
all countries are on tectonic plates because everything on the surface of the earth is on tectonic plates. be more specific with your questions.

Countries located near or on the tectonic plates?
All countries are located on tectonic plates - in fact the world is entirely covered with tectonic plates! Where different plates interact with each other the results can affect the countries locally. Where plates push together you can get volcanoes and earthquakes (an example is Japan.) Where plates pull apart there is usually lots of ocean but you can get some calm volcanism, (an example being Iceland.) Where plates rub past one another there can be earthquakes. An example would be the west coast of the USA and the San Andreas Fault.)

Earthquakes occur mainly allong the edges of?
Tectonic plates and fault lines created by the movement of tectonic plates.
What can tectonic plates also be called instead of tectonic plates?
Tectonic plates are also "Continental Crust" and "Oceanic Crust". Also lithospheric plates.
Can tectonic plates known as crustle plates?
Yes, tectonic plates are also known as crustal plates.
