Movement of tectonic plates is not caused by?
Ocean Current.
What is responsible for movement of tectonic plates in lower mantle?
The movement of tectonic plates in the lower mantle is primarily driven by the process of mantle convection. This is caused by the heat released from the Earth's core, which creates circulation patterns in the mantle that can cause the plates to move. The upwelling and downwelling of material in the mantle contribute to the lateral movement of tectonic plates.
What are the names of the tectonic plates that caused the haiti earthquake?
The North American and Caribbean tectonic plates caused the Haiti earthquake in 2010. The movement along the boundary between these two plates resulted in the devastating earthquake.
What process allows the tectonic plates to move?
You may be looking for the term continental drift, but a more accurate answer to your question is that tectonic plates can move because they float on the underlying magma, so the process that allows them to move is simply floating.
Can landslides be caused by plates in the earth moving?
Indirectly. The movement of tectonic plates is the cause of the majority of earthquakes. Earthquakes can cause landslides.

What caused the 1952 Kamchatka earthquake?
the movement of the two tectonic plates
What is caused by mass?
Mass movement is caused by gravity. (: also occurs when tectonic plates shift
What caused the 1952 Kamchatka Peninsula earthquake?
the movement of the two tectonic plates
What is a sudden shaking of the earths crust caused by the movement of tectonic plates?
EARTHQUAKE
What caused the original continent to break up?
The original continent, called Pangaea, broke up due to the movement of tectonic plates in a process known as plate tectonics. This movement created rifts that eventually separated the landmass into the continents we know today.

Ost geologists thinks that the movement of earths plates is caused by?
Most geologists believe that the movement of the Earth's plates is caused by the process of convection currents in the mantle. These currents are driven by the heat generated from the core of the Earth, which causes the molten rock in the mantle to move in circular patterns, leading to the movement of the tectonic plates.
What is the process in which continents slowly move called?
The process in which continents slowly move is called plate tectonics. This movement is caused by the interactions of large sections of the Earth's lithosphere known as tectonic plates. Over time, these plates drift and collide, leading to the formation of mountains, volcanoes, and earthquakes.
Earthquakes occur mainly allong the edges of?
Tectonic plates and fault lines created by the movement of tectonic plates.
