What feature would you find around converging tectonic plates?
Around converging tectonic plates, you would find features such as mountain ranges, deep ocean trenches, and volcanic arcs. These features are a result of the intense forces created by the plates colliding and interacting with each other.
Tectonic plates are present on the earths surface because what?
If we didn't have tectonic plates nothing would be living. We would have been burnt by the moulten lava
What are the large thin plates that move relative to one another on the outer surface of earth called?

How can tectonic plates harm the earth?
They can't. Earth would be a permanently frozen planet if it wasn't for the internal heat which causes the movement of tectonic plates. And we would never have existed.
Would earth be different if its crust did not move and it lacked tectonic plates?
Its surface would look like that of the Moon, Mars or Mercury all of which do not have tectonic plates and a fixed crust.
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.
What causes mass movements?
tectonic plates. go to wikipedia to find out how tectonic plates relate to earthquakes, continental movements, and volcanoes
Who named the tectonic plates tectonic and why?
harry hess named the tectonic plates but I'm not sure why =/
