What else can I help you with?
A crack in the earths crust caused by tectonic plate movement is called a?
Fault.
What are earthquakes tsunamis and volcano caused by?
They are all caused by the Earths The Earths Tectonic PLates. e.g When there is a crack or fracture in a tectonic plate the pressure slowley builds up until it if released. This can cause tsunamis if the plate is underwater or an earthquake if it is not.
Tectonic plates are present on the earths surface because what?
If we didn't have tectonic plates nothing would be living. We would have been burnt by the moulten lava
What is caused by the earths plate or crust?
Earth's plates or crust can cause earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and the formation of mountain ranges due to tectonic plate movements and interactions. Subduction zones can also lead to the formation of deep ocean trenches and volcanic arcs.
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 forces below earth surface shape landforms?
The tectonic plates below earths surface shape earths landforms
Why you have an earthquake?
the tectonic plates are shifting under the earths surface.
What moves the ocean floor?
the tectonic plates under the earths surface
What are most earthquakes cause by?
moving tectonic plates on earths surface
A crack in the earths crust caused by tectonic plate movement is called a?
Fault.
What is a sudden shaking of the earths crust caused by the movement of tectonic plates?
EARTHQUAKE
Were oceans caused by the moving of the earths surface?
no
Do tectonic plates cover the earths entire surface?
94% of the earth. yes
What causes volcanoes and earthquacks?
Volcanoes are caused by the rising of magma in the earths mantle and earthquakes are caused by the colliding of the earths tectonic plates against one another.
What are earthquakes tsunamis and volcano caused by?
They are all caused by the Earths The Earths Tectonic PLates. e.g When there is a crack or fracture in a tectonic plate the pressure slowley builds up until it if released. This can cause tsunamis if the plate is underwater or an earthquake if it is not.
What processes do scientist infer to have shaped earths surface in the past?
The shifting of Tectonic Plates.
How do covergent boundary plates affect earths surface?
The tectonic plates combined together
