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.
What type of motion happens when tectonic plates slip by each other?
friction
What happens when 2 plates rub against each other?
When two tectonic plates rub against each other, they can create friction and pressure that eventually causes the plates to stick. As the pressure builds up, the plates can suddenly release energy in the form of an earthquake. This movement of the plates can also lead to the formation of mountain ranges or the release of volcanic activity.
What happens when two plates pull away from each other in opposite directions?
When any fault occurs or tectonic plates pull away from each other under the ground. An earthquake happens.
What are the other tectonic plates besides the 7 largest tectonic plates?
The link has the information you asked for.
What happens when two tectonic plates oush against each other?
it would brake
What would happen if two tectonic plates rubbed back and forth against each other?
an earthquake happens
Why did the eartquake in japan happen?
The same reason any earthquake happens, tectonic plates shifted against 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.
Is an earthquake caused by water penetrating Earth's surface?
No. An earthquake happens when the earth's tectonic plates rub against 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 type of motion happens when tectonic plates slip by each other?
friction
How do Japan get earthquake?
The tectonic plates near it rubbed against each other.
What would happen if tectonic plates glided against each other?
A small earthquake
What happens when 2 plates rub against each other?
When two tectonic plates rub against each other, they can create friction and pressure that eventually causes the plates to stick. As the pressure builds up, the plates can suddenly release energy in the form of an earthquake. This movement of the plates can also lead to the formation of mountain ranges or the release of volcanic activity.
