Name two of the tectonic plates?
Some tectonic plates are the Eurasian Plate and the Pacific Plate.
What is the name of the places were the tectonic plates meet?
The places where tectonic plates meet are called plate boundaries. There are three main types of plate boundaries: convergent boundaries (plates moving towards each other), divergent boundaries (plates moving away from each other), and transform boundaries (plates sliding past each other).
Name three natural disasters caused by tectonic plates?
the three types of disasters tectonic plate movements cause are; Conservative- when the plates slid past each other and cause an earthquake. destructive- when two plates bash into each-other and cause either and earthquake or and volcano to erupt. constructive- when two plates move away from each other and construct new crust. well, hope you liked my answer, and by the way, kids are smart cause I'm only 12 !!
The part of earths outer layer that move are called?
The part of Earth's outer layer that moves are called tectonic plates. These plates float on the semi-fluid layer of the mantle and interact with each other at plate boundaries, causing geological events like earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
What is the name for rigid blocks of Earth's crust and upper mantle?
The rigid blocks of Earth's crust and upper mantle are known as tectonic plates. These plates float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere and move due to the heat-driven convection currents in the mantle, leading to processes like earthquakes and volcanic activity.
