How earthquakes volcanoes and mountain's formation are related to plate tectonics?
Earthquakes, volcanoes and mountains are formed via plate tectonics. When the large continental plates collide, they either cause temporary earthquakes, or more permanent features such as volcanoes and mountains.
A large belt of mountain ranges and volcanoes surrounds the pacific ocean. Which events are most closely associated with these mountains and volcanoes?
Earthquakes
What is tectonic activities?
Tectonic activities are processes related to the movement and deformation of the Earth's crust. This includes activities such as plate tectonics, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and mountain building. These activities are driven by the movement of tectonic plates and can result in the formation of various geologic features.
What are large chunks of earths crust called?
Large chunks of Earth's crust are called tectonic plates. These plates float on the semi-fluid layer of the mantle and are responsible for movements like earthquakes, volcanoes, and mountain building.
What four things happen when plates move?
earthquakes volcanoes landslides and tsunami
What is something similar between active and passive margins continents?
Both active and passive margins are found at the edges of continents. Active margins are associated with tectonic activity and are typically marked by earthquakes, volcanoes, and mountain building, while passive margins are geologically stable and characterized by broad continental shelves and sediment deposition.

What are Two continents colliding?
Two continents that are currently colliding are the Indian Plate and the Eurasian Plate, resulting in the formation of the Himalayan mountain range. This collision has been ongoing for millions of years and is a geologically active region prone to earthquakes and mountain-building processes.
A large belt of mountain ranges and volcanoes surrounds the pacific ocean. Which events are most closely associated with these mountains and volcanoes?
Earthquakes
What happens when two contients collide?
Earthquakes and mountain building.
What is tectonic activities?
Tectonic activities are processes related to the movement and deformation of the Earth's crust. This includes activities such as plate tectonics, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and mountain building. These activities are driven by the movement of tectonic plates and can result in the formation of various geologic features.
Which event cannot be explained by the movement of the lithosphere plates tornadoes earthquakes volcanoes mountain formation?
Tornadoes.
What forms when continental crust converge with oceanic crust?
Deep sea trenches, Mountain ranges, Volcanoes, and Earthquakes.
How is plate tectonics responsible for mountain building volcanoes earthquakes and ocean trenches?
If your question is "How are earthquakes and volcanos triggered by plate tectonics?", then here is my best explanation. Earthquakes are caused by two tectonic plates smashing together and buckling either upward (Forms a volcano/mountain) or downward (forms a trench/faultline) to trigger an earthquake. If one of the plates goes under the other then I believe the magma leaks out and forms a mass of volcanic rock that can either create a land mass, or make an underwater volcano/mountain.
What is a word for building up through mountains volcanoes and uplift?
Orogeny is the process of mountain creation, or a period of mountain creation.
Why do you have so many range in California?
There are many mountain ranges in California because of tectonic forces like earthquakes or volcanoes.
Are there mountain ranges volcanoes or earthquakes not located along the plate boundaries?
yes, eg in Britain and Italy, where there are old faultlines
