The theory of tectonic plates is little doubt that there was direct relationship in between the borders of the worlds tectonic plates. There was a theory that all of the continents were all together at the same time and it was called Pangea. Because of the tectonic plates the continents are now in our present position. Tectonic plates move as little as two cenimeters a year. Tectonic plates can cause awful eathquakes.

A tectonic plate theory is transcurison it occurs when adjoining plates slides past each other one another along being called a transform fault.The SAN Andres fault is ivisible on and above ground for alot of miles.It can extend 650 miles ( 1,050 km) to southern Calafornia to point arena on the southern calafornia coast.San Fransico on 1960 occured on that fault... A direct relationship between the boarders of the world tectonics plates could distribute earthquakes

Plate tectonics is the theory that the outer rigid layer of the earth. (the lithosphere) is divided into a couple of dozen ."Plates" that move around across the earth's surface relative to each other, like slabs of ice on a lake. It affects the earth because it causes earthquakes.It also affects the earth by making valcanos errupt.

The tectonic plate theory was that scientists believed that there was a supercontinent called Pangea. They thought all the continents had once formed together. It has affected the Earth greatly. The United States has had three earthquakes having higher magnitudes of 7.5 along the Mississppi River valley. This occured during the winter of 1811-12.

The theory is that people belived that the earths crust is broken up into seperate plates. It affects earth by creating a earthquake. It also creates valcanos and other weather events. The tectonic plates create very distructive weather. Some weather disasters are caused when the plates are moving.

tectoinc plates are two parts that move away. It effects the earth by earthquakes , volcanoes, and tusnami. The tectonic plates is a very actice thing in the earth. Tectioninc plates also can make many things like mountian and other stuff. Some plates are moving apart of each other and som are coming together.This is how the tectonic plates work.

The tectonic plate theory is that the earth the relationship with the borders is causing earthquake's.The tectonic plates that are moving is herting the earth because it is making cracks in the earth separting lands from each other. It is making mountain's and causing earthquakes.Volcanoes can cause tectonic plates to move, tectonic plates move under water in the ocean causing tsunami. The tectonic plates are making islands of there own far away from other land.

The tectonic plate theory is the theory of the earths crust being broken up into several plates called tectonic plates or plate tectonics.These plates move very little and slowly but over time you can see the difference. Scientists believe that at one point in earths time all continents were formed into one large Continent called Pangaea.Plate tectonics have been found to create Major earthquakes to.

The Tectonic Plate theory the earth crust witch is broken up into boadersand. The Tectonic Plate theory can cause us to have earthquakes. When the Tectonic Plates move apart it creates a rift valley and and forms volcanoes.The Tectonic Plates theory also moves toward each other. The last thing about the Tectonic Plate theory is that the plates can slide pass each other and it is called Transform.

The tectonic plate theory is a relationship with the earth between the borders of the worlds tectonic plates that also causes earthquakes. It affects earth by the plates moving apart or moving toward each other. The plate that is turned down into deeper parts of the mantle is to be subducted. This makes earthquakes to occur in the beniof zones.

The tectonic plate theory is were plates are moving in a direction....one example is when plates push against each other they can form mountains,and hills...Tectonic plates that are moving is heating the earth cause its making cracks in between the earth separating lands from one another ...is when plates push together and one goes over one another they can cause tsunami...that is what happens in the tectonic plate theory...

The tectonic plate theory are plates moving in certain directions. One example of plates moving differnt directions is when two plates are moving against each other when that is happning mountains, and hills can form. There more ways tectonic plate move, but that was just an example. When tectonic plates are moving it makes the earth to get heated up, and when that happens it makes crackes in the earth.

The tectonic plates are 2 plates that can cause earthquakes . When the tectonic plates move away they can make a vally . When the tectonic plates make a vally they make crake so that maga comes out making a volcanoe. When the tectonic plates move that means that they are holding to much stress and they send all that radiation away they cause earthquakes. when the tectonic plates leave each other they can transform and connect there selves to make another part of the world.

A tectonic plate is a plate that moves away from one another.It effects the earth by earthquakes,volcanoes,and tusnami.When a current from molten materail from the upper mantle rises the juncture of two add joining plates. Tectonic plates can also make things like mountains and other stuff. Some plates pull apart from each other and some move togther. This is how tectonic plates work.

Plate tectonic have a relationship between the world's borders and is goegraphic distribute to earthquakes. And the earth crust is broken up into separate plate. That rarely coincide with continental shoreline. A current of molten material from upper mantle rises along juncture of adjoining plates. Also this type of tectonic is called extrusion. But it is generally associated with formation of volcanoes. 200 million years ago Europe and North America was split from each other.

The tectonic plate theory is a theory of plates forming different crust deformation on the earths crust. The tectonic plate theory is forming the earth's crust and into things like mountains, trenches rivers, volcanoes, and earth quake. Each of these are formed when the plates take some type of action to moving froward to moving away. They also can go sliding past each other or one plate getting on top of the other plate. They have different boundaries. Tectonic plates form in all different area's and form all of our land forms. That is the theory of tectonic plate.

The Tectonic plate theoy is little doubt that there is a direct relationship between the borders of the world's tectonic plates and the geographic distribution of earthquakes.That brokes up the earth's crust into numbers of separate plates, the edges of which rarely coincide with continental shorelines. Scientists long known that these plate margins are extremely significant in earthquake studies.Major earthquakes are located along the active plate margins are associated with geophysical processes known as extrusion, subduction and overriding, and transcursion. In conclusion these is the Teconic plates and how it affects the earth.

The theory of plate tectonic leaves little doubt that there is a direct relationship between the borders of the worlds tectonic plates.Earths crust is broken up into a number of seperte plates.When a current of molten material from the upper mantle rises along the juncture of two adjoining plates the plates move apart,or diverge from the spreading center.Although some plates are moving apart some are moving toward each other.A thrid type of tectonic movement,known as transcursion occurs when only adjoining plates slide past each other.Tectonic plates are either plates that move toward one another,slide past one another,goes above one another,or move away from one another.The boundaries that make this happen are called a divergent boundary,a convergent boundary,and a transform plate boundary and all of these boundaries cause something.

The tectonic plate theory has little doubt about the tectonic plate borders having a relationship. One way it affects earth is it can cause earthquakes.Another way is that it uses the divergent plate boundaries that make rift valleys and fill them up with molten material.Another way it affects is the convergent plate boundarie which forms mountains in many ways.The last way the tectonic plate theory affects us is the trancurison plates which is when two plates are sliding past each other. Trancurison plates also can form earthquakes which is another way it affects the earth.

The tectonic plate theory is when plates move in a direction. When plates converge they form mountains, trenches, and earthquakes.when plates diverge they form new ocean floors. When the plates move past each other they are called transform plates. Transform plates can make new river directions and make lakes.

The Tectonic Plate is a relatoinship between the borders. The crust is broken up into numbers, Seperate plates. They can form hills,mountains, and volcanoes. If the come together they can slide pass or one of the plates can overide the other one. The cracks in the sea floor, The lava pushes the cracks bigger making the ocean bigger. The plates are heating the Earth's crust by the lava. The Tectonic Plates also make EarthQuakes.The andreas fualt is above the ground for many of miles.

The worlds crust is divided into different tectonic plates. The earth has mountains because of tectonic plates different movements. There are three different plates the divergent, convergent, transform. Transform is when two tectonic plates slide past each other and sometimes create an earthquake. Divergent is when two plates go away from each other mainly under seafloor and make a new seafloor. Convergent is when two different plates go towards each other and create mountains.

the earths crust is broken up into a number of seperate plates or big pieces. The plates can move apart or come together. Volcanoes happen when the plates move and hot rock rises. Also earthquakes happen when the plates collide with one another, The san andreas fault is about 650miles long and is in California and a lot of earthquakes happen here.

The tectonic plates is when there is a direct relationship between the borders of the tectonic plates. Witch by the tectonic plates, earthquakes happen. These plates move apart, some move towards each other, or converging. One example is the one in San Andres Fault of California, this plates moved apart from each other witch is called the transform fault. By the tectonic plates, the earthquake in San Francisco occurred in 1906. It affects our earth by earthquakes. In conclusion that is the Tectonic plates and how does it affect the Earth.

The tectonic plate theory is the number of plates broken up move away from each other. It moves at least an inch every year. earthquakes help tectonic plates move. earthquakes is when engough strees buildes up and finally move. some tectonic plates are moving toward each other while others move away.they effect earth by moving the land to other places.

tectonic plates are basicly the lithospere.tectonic plates ars plates that devide the crust.the tectonic plates just flaot on the magma in the mantle.tectonic plates are the reason that we have mountaina because when two continental plates crash it rises to create a mountain but it does'nt have to be two continental plates it can be an oceanic plate with another oceanic plate or a continental plate with a oceanic plate.it can also create volcanoes the exact same way.tectonic plates are the reason we have different continents and also why we are not still in pangea.these are effects of tectonic plates.

Tectonic pltes aare plates that have been moving for millions of years. They also cause earthquakes that are major. They also have been sliding past each other going a way from each other and also going to each other. two plates can become as know as an mountain. they can become trenches. indetructive plate weakens as it collide with a anther. california coast is a example of the plates.

The Plates Tectonics are plates that are direct relationship between the of the Tectonic Plates. There is 3 types of tectonic plates. The first one is Divergent which means to" spread apart ". The second one is Convergent which means to " come together ". Last but not least there is a transform one which means to fold up on each other. Those are all i no about Tectonic plates.

Tectonic plates can push together to form mountsins. They can create earthquakes when they slide past each other. When they move away form each other it allows lava to come up. It also creates volcanoes. The tectonic plate theory is the doubt that there is a relationship between the worlds tectonic plates and earthquakes. When the tectonic plates slide past each other they create faults.

The tectonic plate theory is when there is a direct relationship between the world's tectonic plates. It effects the earth because the plates margin significant earthquakes. It also effects the earth by is when current material from the upper mantle rises off two joined plates, the plates move apart from the speading center. Another way is because the plates can make a volcaneo eropt. Also when the plates move apart magma comes out when it comes out it is called lava.

The tectonic plates are plates that are moving away from each other or converging,or transform all this is the information of what the tectonic plates are, now this affects the earth by earth quakes ,this also is a way of how volcanoes, and mountains form there shape.Don't forget that they move one inch a year, so this means that they move very slowly.Some mountains like mount Everest grow slowly too.Mountains were formed by these plates, the way they were formed was by when the two plates collide which form the mountains, this also how volcanoes form but when they get extinct they form into mountains and loss there form.
