Earthquakes.... Volcanoes..... Tsunamis..... Landslides.... Avalanches can happen
friction
Usually an earthquake occurs.
Mantle convection causes the tectonic plates of the Earth to move slowly. Mantle convection is when heat moves from the mantle to the surface and causes the mantle, and the tectonic plates to move very slowly.
They are called tectonic or lithospheric plates.
Magma seeps up through the two plates from the mantle and form volcanos.
The lithosphere is the layer that moves with the tectonic plates. The lithosphere is made up of the crust and the upper part of the mantle, and it is broken into tectonic plates that move and interact with each other.
Because tectonic plates move, therefore if the continent is on it, it moves with it!
An Earthquake happens.
the tectonic plates under the earths surface
Those would be tectonic plates.
Tectonic plates.
This is a guess: Earth's tectonic plates.
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.
the hot magma moves around and they move.
An earthquake. But while this happens the magma fills the gap.
Think logic, How does Plates move? The Magma inside the earth moves the plates. So, No it don't.
No, convection currents in the mantle are the primary driving force behind the movement of tectonic plates. These currents are generated by heat from the Earth's core, causing movement in the mantle that in turn drags and moves the overlying tectonic plates.
