What is the plate tectonic process where one plate moves under another?
The plate tectonic process where one plate moves under another is called subduction. This process occurs at convergent plate boundaries, where the denser oceanic plate typically sinks beneath the less dense continental plate. Subduction zones are associated with deep oceanic trenches and volcanic arcs.
What is it called when a tectonic plate suddenly moves?
When a tectonic plate suddenly moves, it is called an earthquake. This sudden release of energy occurs along faults or boundaries between tectonic plates, resulting in seismic waves. The movement can vary in magnitude and can cause significant damage depending on the earthquake's intensity and location.
How does plates affect the surface of the surface?
when tectonic plate collides with other tectonic plates or moves into another tectonic plate it affects surface in a way to create mountains. Like Himalayas are created when the indian tectonic plate collided with asian tectonic plate.
What is a tectonic plate that moves together to cause destructive or compressional plate margins?
convergent
Large section of earths crust that moves as one unit?
Plate
Does subduction happen at a plate boundary?
Subduction is the process that takes place at convergent boundaries by which one tectonic plate moves under another tectonic plate.
What do geologists call a crustal landmass that moves as a unit?
A Tectonic Plate

Is there a link between plate tectoics and earthquakes?
yes when a plate tectonic moves or grinds togeher it = a earthquke
When a plate moves suddenly what happens?
An Earthquake happens.
What happens in a seduction zone of the earth's crust?
the correct term is subduction zone. In geology, subduction is the process that takes place at convergent boundaries by which one tectonic plate moves under another tectonic plate, sinking into the Earth's mantle, as the plates converge. from wikipedia.com
