What four things happen when plates move?
earthquakes volcanoes landslides and tsunami
What is the cause of most volcanoes found on land?
Most land volcanoes are caused by the movement of tectonic plates. When plates move apart or collide, it can create cracks in the Earth's crust, allowing magma to rise to the surface and form a volcano.
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 tectonic plates and plate boundaries?
Tectonic plates are plates underneath the ground we stand on that help to form the structure of the earth, when two tectonic plates colide they create terrains such as mountains. they have also been known to cause some Tsunami's.
Why tsunami do not always occur even there is an earthquake?
The creation of a tsunami depends on several factors:magnitude - generally needs to be 7 or higherearthquake must be located under the ocean so that water is movedtype of fault movement. When plates move up or down, this tends to move the most water, and is most likely to produce a tsunami
What is the caused the tsunami?
It is when the plates of the earth move under the sea
Which feature do you see when tectonic plates move apart?
Earthquakes and Tsunami.
Can a tsunami happen in the Atlantic ocean?
it is possible if the plates move and one of them slips under the other your tsunami will form.
How does a earthquakes place affect tsunamis?
when the techtonic plates move, they can make an earthquake, that then may trigger techtonic plates to move and begin waves that become a tsunami
How did Japan recover from the earthquake or tsunami?

Why tsunami happened in Japan?
The tsunami in Japan occurred because when the tectonic plates under ground move they cause an earthquake. Sometimes an earthquake can cause a tsunami from shaking underwater.
How did the tsnami happen?
went tectonic plates shift, they move everything above it and around it too. if that happens to be water, it will create a wave. If one of these waves is big enough, it is called a tsunami.

Why do Hawaiian Islands move?
They move because the plates in Earths mantle shift and cause the island to move slightly. As the plates move around they cause changes in Earths landforms. The more pressure is on the plates the more they move around. Because of Japans tsunami and earthquakes, the plates were moved around to Hawaii and possibly could have caused an island to move. If you wander what plates are well they are rigid blocks of crust and upper mantle rock.
Did plates move to create the crater of diamonds in Arkansas?
yes
