What is the name of the tectonic plates that lie near Samoa?
The Pacific Plate and the Australian Plate are the tectonic plates that lie near Samoa.
Were do volcanoes appear the most?
Volcanoes appear most frequently along the boundaries of tectonic plates, such as the Pacific Ring of Fire, where many active volcanoes are found. These regions experience high levels of seismic and volcanic activity due to the movement and interactions of Earth's tectonic plates.
What is the name of the three tectonic plates that lie near Kobe?
The three tectonic plates near Kobe are the Eurasian Plate, the Philippine Sea Plate, and the Pacific Plate. These plates interact at the boundaries near Kobe, contributing to the region's seismic activity.
What are the large thin plates that move relative to one another on the outer surface of earth called?
They are called tectonic or lithospheric plates.
How many tectonic plates do we have?
there are 7 huge plates but dozens of smaller plates
What tectonic plates does Kashmir lie on?
convergent
What is the name of the tectonic plates that lie near Samoa?

How does the motions in the asthenosphere can move tectonic plates?
The asthenosphere lies beneath the lithosphere, which is where the tectonic plates lie. Because of the high temperature, the asthenosphere has the property to flow (plasticity); the tectonic plates "float" on this flow.
Were do volcanoes appear the most?
Volcanoes appear most frequently along the boundaries of tectonic plates, such as the Pacific Ring of Fire, where many active volcanoes are found. These regions experience high levels of seismic and volcanic activity due to the movement and interactions of Earth's tectonic plates.
Is it true that the continents close to the tectonic plates will have earthquakes?
No. Everything lies on a tectonic plate. Cities that lie near where 2 tectonic plates meet have earthquakes. Tectonic Plates expand and contract, and it is often that they expand and rub against each other. As they rub, they may overlap and cause an earthquake. Obvioulsy, a city directly above where they overlap will feel it more than a city which is in the middle of a tectonic plate.

What are the large thin plates that move relative to one another on the outer surface of earth called?
They are called tectonic or lithospheric plates.
Earthquakes occur mainly allong the edges of?
Tectonic plates and fault lines created by the movement of tectonic plates.
What can tectonic plates also be called instead of tectonic plates?
Tectonic plates are also "Continental Crust" and "Oceanic Crust". Also lithospheric plates.
Can tectonic plates known as crustle plates?
Yes, tectonic plates are also known as crustal plates.
Who named the tectonic plates tectonic and why?
harry hess named the tectonic plates but I'm not sure why =/
The boundary line of which two tectonic plates lie near New Zealand?
The boundary is between the Australian Plate and the Pacific Plate.
