What do tectonic plates move?
Tectonic Plates move by trying to push past each other and by trying to slide past each other.
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 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 are moving pieces under the earths surface that form the earths crust?
Tectonic plates are the moving pieces under the Earth's surface that form the Earth's crust. These plates float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere and interact with each other through processes like subduction, spreading, and collision, which contribute to the shaping of Earth's surface features.
What tectonic plate caused Christchurch's earthquakes?
The earthquakes in Christchurch, New Zealand were mainly caused by the interaction of the Pacific and the Australian tectonic plates along the boundary known as the Alpine Fault. This region is seismically active due to the complex tectonic interactions between these two plates.
What is the cause of a volcanic eruption?
When tectonic plates go under each other.
What do plate tectonics have to do with earthquakes?
When tectonic plates come together or go under or over each other, forms a volcano. that what tectonic plates do form volcanoes!!! Thank you
How do eathquakeaccur?
tectonic plates under the earth's crust collide or rub against each other
What do tectonic plates move?
Tectonic Plates move by trying to push past each other and by trying to slide past each other.
Where do earthquakes form and where they are find?
Anywhere there are tectonic plates, and when two tectonic plates hit each other
How did the New Zealand earthquake occur?
Two tectonic plates movoin apart, together or under each other
What kind of plates bump into each other?
tectonic
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.
Is it true that when tectonic plates slide past each other they create a spreading of an ocean?
No. When tectonic plates move away from each other they can cause an ocean to spread.
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.
How do the tectonic plates interact with each other?
Tectonic plates interact with each other at their boundaries, where they can move apart, collide, or slide past each other. These interactions can create earthquakes, volcanic activity, and the formation of mountains.
What are three ways tectonic plates interact with each other?
When plates slide past each other, move toward each other, and move away from each other.
