What are the different pieces of the Earth's crust called?
Along with their attached rigid uppermost mantle, they are referred to as tectonic plates.
What does it mean when tectonic plates slip?
Shifting,sliding,diverging ,converging etc . of tectonic plates.
Which layers does Earth's tectonic plates sit atop and slide along?
Asthenosphere
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.
Can tectonic plates split in half?
Tectonic plates can split apart at their boundaries, known as divergent boundaries, where new crust is formed. However, tectonic plates do not split in half as a whole; instead, they interact along their edges at various types of plate boundaries.
Which tectonic plates are located along the Prime Meridian?
The tectonic plates located along the Prime Meridian are the Eurasian Plate and the African Plate.
Earthquakes occur most often along the?

How many tectonic plates are located in Bali?
Bali is located on two tectonic plates, the Australian Plate and the Eurasian Plate. These plates interact along the Sunda Megathrust, which can result in seismic activity in the region.
What happened to rocks as fossils as the tectonic plates separated and drifted apart?
They were carried along with the plates to new locations.
Why earthquakes in Italy?
As it is along a fault line (gap between tectonic plates)

What tectonic plates were involved in the eyjafjallajokull eruption?
The Eyjafjallajökull eruption in 2010 involved the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates in Iceland. The volcano is located along the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, where these two plates are diverging.
What happens along divergent boundaries?
along divergent boundaries tectonic plates move apart & rifts are created
