How are plate tectonics formed?
Tectonic plates can be formed when two land masses collide over time (also how mountains can be formed). In this case however one land mass slides over the other. This can be very unstable though which is why earthquakes happen.
Is Mount Humphreys a volcano?
They say that it was a Super Valcano in pre-historic days(dinosaurs). It is the largest Mountain the state of Arizona. DO not be frightned though because it has been dormant for 1000's of years.
Are waves created by tectonic plates?
Yes, and, no. Yes, waves are created by tectonic plates during an earthquake (When two or more tectonic plates rub together and make huge vibrations) and even cause tsunami waves. Waves are not formed when the plates are still, though.
What you can infer about the relationship between earthquake and volcanoes?
Earthquakes and volcanoes are often related because they both result from the movement of tectonic plates beneath the Earth's surface. Earthquakes can be triggered by volcanic activity, and volcanic eruptions can also cause earthquakes. Additionally, the same tectonic forces that lead to earthquakes can create the conditions necessary for magma to rise to the surface and form volcanoes.
Were does magma often move upward though in the crust?
Magma often moves upward through the Earth's crust along cracks and fractures in the rock, known as magma conduits. These conduits can be created by tectonic activity, such as the movement of tectonic plates, which can provide pathways for magma to reach the surface and form volcanic eruptions.
Where is an earthquake formed?
Question worded a little funny though. But they can be formed anywhere, and are caused by the tectonic plates, whenever they collide, wherever they collide.

What is the bodie of water with land all around it?
A body of water with land all around it is called a lake. Lakes can vary in size and depth, and they are typically freshwater, though some can be saline. They are often formed through geological processes such as glacial activity, tectonic movements, or volcanic activity. Lakes serve as important ecosystems, providing habitats for various plants and animals.
What features of the earth have been formed by tectonic activity?
There are multiple types of tectonic activity, first, the earth's plates can come together, creating a CONVERGENT boundary. This forces the plates to come together, and continue rising higher above each other until a mountain/mountain ridge form. The second type is a DIVERGENT boundary. This is the case when the plates shift apart instead of together. This causes great rifts on the earth's surface, most of which are found at the bottom of the ocean. These are called trenches or Mid-ocean ridges. Finally, the plates can collide and stay flat, though just shift off center. This causes a fault line to develop. These sites are prone to earthquakes. * features such as mountain ranges, areas of volcanic activity hot springs etc, rift valleys, mid ocean ridges, oceanic trenches

Is there tectonic plate movement in new Jersey?
Yes, there is tectonic plate movement in New Jersey. The state lies near the boundary of the North American Plate and the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, resulting in slow tectonic activity that can occasionally lead to earthquakes.

How are weak spots plate movement and volcanoes related?
All Volcanoes are formed at weaker spots in the tectonic plates. The weak spots are usually near the edges of plates, and most volcanoes are formed there. Sometimes though, plates move over hot spots, and if a weak area of the plate is over that hot spot, a volcano (shield volcano) might form.
Where may a crater be formed on a volcano?
a crater can be formed anywhere in a volcano. its usually formed at the top though.
When was Porcupine Mountains created?
The Porcupine Mountains were able to formed, even though not even close to any tectonic plates, because of ancient, hard volcanic basalt that was uplifted. The ridges are pieces of once-towering mountains. The Porcupine Mountains were also formed by glaciers during the ice age.
