What is formed when the rock making up a tectonic plate breaks or moves?
A fault
When the rock making up a tectonic plate breaks and moves?
A Fault(:
When volcanic island chain are formed what moves?
When a volcanic island chain is formed, the tectonic plate moves over a hotspot in the Earth's mantle. The hotspot remains stationary while the plate moves, resulting in a series of volcanic islands forming in a line as the plate moves over the hotspot.
Which feature is formed on the ocean floor when tectonic plates are pushed together so that one plate moves under the other?
A subduction zone is formed when two tectonic plates collide and one plate is forced beneath the other into the Earth's mantle. This process creates deep ocean trenches, volcanic arcs, and seismic activity.
What happens when a tectonic plate moves rapidly?
Usually an earthquake occurs.

What is created where one plate move under another?
A volcano is most often formed whon one tectonic plate moves under another
Are the hawaiian islands formed at a subduction boundary?
No, the Hawaiian Islands are not formed at a subduction boundary. They are formed by a hotspot in the Earth's mantle, where magma rises to the surface and creates volcanic islands as the tectonic plate moves over the hotspot.
What layer moves at tectonic plates?
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.
How do tectonic plates cause contenitial drift?
Because tectonic plates move, therefore if the continent is on it, it moves with it!

What moves the ocean floor?
the tectonic plates under the earths surface
What does the earths crust consist of that moves?
Those would be tectonic plates.
What do geologists call a crustal landmass that moves as a unit?
A Tectonic Plate
What happens when a tectonic plate moves rapidly?
Usually an earthquake occurs.
