When pressure builds between tectonic plates, it can eventually lead to an earthquake as the plates suddenly release the built-up stress by sliding past each other. This movement can cause the ground to shake and result in damage to buildings and other structures in the surrounding area.
What else can I help you with?
What is a hypothesis for plate movement?
when pressure builds under the plates they move in opposite directions.
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.
Why are volcanoes in our world?
They are a result of tetonic activity. they occur when two plates push together under a great pressure and then begin to fold upwards. when there is a weakness in the plates the mantles pressure builds and magma comes to the surface.
What happens when plates on earth crust push together or scrape past each other?
They lodge together pressure builds up and overcomes the friction the plates jolt past each other and make earthquakes this also creates ridges in the land eg san andreas fault
What happens when two tectonic plates rub back and forth?
When two tectonic plates rub back and forth, they create friction that can cause earthquakes. The pressure from the movement builds up until it is released suddenly, resulting in seismic waves that shake the Earth's surface. These earthquakes can vary in intensity depending on the amount of stress that has built up along the fault line.
What happens before rocks give way in an earthquake?
pressure builds under the plates
What happens when the lithospheric plates rub past each other?
pressure builds uo and then releases
What is released when earthquakes happens?
Energy, tension and pressure. Two tectonic plates tries to slide against each other but gets caught. Pressure builds up until something breaks and the plates are released with a shock.
As plates move what happens when pressure builds up and then rocks break?
When pressure builds up along a fault line, eventually the rocks will break along that fault, causing an earthquake. The sudden release of built-up pressure sends seismic waves that shake the ground, causing the movement we feel during an earthquake.
Is there a relationship between plate tectonics and volacnoes?
The movement of plates cause volcanoes pressure builds in the mantle when 2 plates push towards together and the pressure pushes lava up through the ground and over time this makes volcanoes

What is the pressure of the mantle?
the pressure builds up from tectonic plates moving past each other causing gaps and then volcanoes are produced. hope it helps.

What will happen when stress builds up in a tectonic plate and the plates collide?
When that happens a earthquake is produced.
Why are there earthquakes on earth?
Friction between shifting tectonic plates builds up, and the energy release causes an earthquake.
