What else can I help you with?
A tectonic plate is a massive portion of the earths what?
lithosphere
Where do folds in the earths crust form?
along tectonic plate boundaries.
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.
What type of plate boundaries are associated with slab pull?
Slab pull is primarily associated with convergent plate boundaries, where one tectonic plate is being subducted beneath another. As the denser oceanic plate sinks into the mantle, it creates a pulling force that helps drive the movement of tectonic plates. This process is a significant contributor to plate tectonics and is crucial for understanding geological phenomena such as earthquakes and volcanic activity.
What is the slab of the earths crust that regularly moves away from or collides with other slabs called?
The slab of the Earth's crust that regularly moves away from or collides with other slabs is called a tectonic plate. These plates make up the Earth's lithosphere and their movement is responsible for processes such as earthquakes and mountain formation.

A blank is a crack in Earths crust?
Tectonic Plate.
What is the name for the part of earths crust?
Tectonic plate
A tectonic plate is a massive portion of the earths what?

What is the rock of earths mantle?
plate tectonic and magma
A slab of continental or oceanic crust is known as?
A slab of continental or oceanic crust is known as a tectonic plate. These plates make up the Earth's lithosphere and float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere below, moving due to the process of plate tectonics.
Large section of earths crust that moves as one unit?
Plate
Where do folds in the earths crust form?
along tectonic plate boundaries.
How does slab pull and ridge push work together?
Slab pull and ridge push are two key driving forces of plate tectonics that work together to move tectonic plates. Slab pull occurs when the denser oceanic plate sinks into the mantle at subduction zones, pulling the rest of the plate behind it. Ridge push happens at mid-ocean ridges where new crust is formed and pushes the tectonic plate away from the ridge. Together, these forces contribute to the movement of tectonic plates.
