4. Which of the following is TRUE about the relationship of earthquakes to plate tectonics? A. Earthquakes cause the plate tectonics to be stable. B. Earthquakes are one of the results from the movement of tectonic plates. C. Earthquakes result into plate tectonics D. Earthquakes are not related to plate tectonics
Answer:
C. i guess?
Explanation:
the movement of plates is called "tectonics", thus, the theory of moving lithospheric plates is called plate tectonics.
5. what causes the tectonic plates to move on discuss the plate tectonic theory
Answer:
The process of plate tectonics may be driven by convection in Earth's mantle, the pull of heavy old pieces of crust into the mantle, or some combination of both. For a deeper discussion of plate-driving mechanisms, see Plate-driving mechanisms and the role of the mantle.

•|Answer|•
Plate tectonics is a scientific theory describing the large-scale motion of the plates making up Earth's lithosphere since tectonic processes began on Earth between 3.3 and 3.5 billion years ago. The model builds on the concept of continental drift, an idea developed during the first decades of the 20th century.

20. why are there several tectonic plates? what is the importance of studying tectonic plates?
Answer:
Plate tectonics explains why and where earthquakes occur. This makes it possible to make predictions about earthquakes. Plate tectonics explains why and where mountains are formed. ... This makes Plate tectonics important to the study of geology.
Explanation:
21. Define "Plate tectonics" and "plate tectonics theory"
THE PLATES
Simplistically, the earth consists of the plates, and plate boundaries, those zones where the plates contact and interact. Observe that 7 different plates are labeled in the cross section. Plates are combinations of two units, continents and ocean basins. A plate may be an ocean basin alone, or a continent alone, or a combination of ocean basin+continent (common).
It is possible a plate could be a continent alone, but for this to occur all edges of the continent would have to be a plate boundary (very rare, perhaps not practically possible). Note that in the cross section several different ocean basin/continent combinations are present, but that it is difficult to get a continent with all plate boundaries.
PLATE BOUNDARIES
The three kinds of plate boundaries are also illustrated in the cross section, divergent, convergent, and transform. Plate interact at these boundaries.
Two divergent margins (plate boundaries) are present in the cross section, one labeled as such to the right of the continental craton, and the other on the left side. The left side divergent margin is labeled Back Arc (Marginal) Basin. Back arc basins are formed by minor convection cells above subduction zones. Divergent plate boundaries always create new ocean floor (that is, new oceanic lithosphere, called the ophiolite suite).
Three convergent boundaries are present, all of them one way or another involving a subduction zone. In the continent-continent collision the subduction zone is now extinct but can be seen below the surface. Subduction zones generate lots of igneous magma that rises to the surface to form volcanic mountains (volcanic arcs; also island arcs). The igneous batholiths that feed the volcanoes are the beginning of generation of new continental crust. Continents are created above subduction zones as small proto- and microcontinents. They enlarge by colliding and fusing together, or suturing onto a larger continent, at a convergent plate boundary.
At convergent boundaries oceanic lithosphere is always destroyed by descending into a subduction zone. This is because oceanic rock is heavy, compared to the continents, and sinks easily. Because oceanic lithosphere is created and destroyed so easily ocean basins are young; the oldest we have is only about 200 million years old. Continents, on the other hand, composed of light weight rock never subducts. Thus, continental rock once formed is more or less permanent; the oldest continental fragment is 3.9 billion years old, virtually as old as the earth itself.
Only one transform boundary is present, on the left side of the drawing. At transform boundaries two plates just slide past one another horizontally, and quietly compared to convergent and divergent plate boundaries. Most of these are found in the ocean basins, but the San Andreas fault in California and Mexico is an example coming on land.
PLATE COLLISIONS
The essence of plate tectonic theory is that the plates (ocean basins plus or minus continents) slide around over the earth surface, interacting as they do at the plate boundaries. Thus, any time there is a divergent plate boundary where two plates are separating, there must be a convergent plate boundary (subduction zone) where the earth comes together again. And convergent boundaries always, eventually, lead to collisions between continents, or continents and terranes (island arcs plus or minus microcontinents). Observe the subduction zones in the cross section. Next to each one is a remnant ocean basin (ROB). An ROB is one that is disappearing down a subduction zone; it is a remnant of its former self. But all subduction zones must eventually disappear completely and when they do the floating blocks on either side will collide, and create a mountain range. The continent-continent collision in the cross section is a case where the collision has already occurred.
But in the larger picture, it is common for a divergent plate boundary to come into existence and create a new ocean basin, and then for that ocean basin to close again along a convergent plate boundary until two continents collide. This opening and closing of ocean basins is the Wilson Cycle, and is the simplest model we have of how the earth operates historically.
22. difference of plate tectonics and tectonic plates
Answer:
Plate tectonics is the theory that Earth's outer shell is divided into several plates that glide over the mantle, the rocky inner layer above the core. The plates act like a hard and rigid shell compared to Earth's mantle. This strong outer layer is called the lithosphere, which is 100 km (60 miles) thick, according to Encyclopedia Britannica. The lithosphere includes the crust and outer part of the mantle. Below the lithosphere is the asthenosphere, which is malleable or partially malleable, allowing the lithosphere to move around. How it moves around is an evolving idea
Developed from the 1950s through the 1970s, plate tectonics is the modern version of continental drift, a theory first proposed by scientist Alfred Wegener in 1912. Wegener didn't have an explanation for how continents could move around the planet, but researchers do now. Plate tectonics is the unifying theory of geology, said Nicholas van der Elst, a seismologist at Columbia University's Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory in Palisades, New York.
"Before plate tectonics, people had to come up with explanations of the geologic features in their region that were unique to that particular region," Van der Elst said. "Plate tectonics unified all these descriptions and said that you should be able to describe all geologic features as though driven by the relative motion of these tectonic plates."

25. 7 major tectonic plates ,,the world's smallest plate tectonic?
Answer:
The Juan de Fuca plate is the smallest tectonic plate in the world.
26. the difference between plate tectonics and tectonic plates?
Answer
Plate tectonics-a scientific theory that describes the large-scale motion of Earth s lithosphere
Tectonic Plates-composed of oceanic lithosphere and thicker continental lithosphere,each topped by its own kind of crust.
Explanation:
The lateral relative movement of the plates typically varies from zero to 100 mm annually.
27. Primary Tectonic Plates? And Secondary Tectonic Plates
These divisions are inevitably somewhat arbitrary, but by convention we recognise seven main or “primary” tectonic plates: these are the African Plate: Antarctic Plate, Eurasian Plate, Indo-Australian Plate, North American Plate, Pacific Plate, and South American Plate.
The other six secondary plates are the Caribbean, the Cocos, the Juan de Fuca, the Nazca, the Philippines Sea, and the Scotia.
28. How does the theory of plate tectonics explain the movement of tectonic plates?
Plate tectonics is the theory that Earth's outer shell is divided into several plates thay glide over the mantle, the rocky inner layer above the core. Developed from the 1950s through 1970s, plate tectonics expands the concept of continental drift, an idea proposed by scientist Alfred Wegener. The plates are all moving in different directions and at different speeds (from zero to 100 mm annually) in relationship to each other. The plates are moving around like cars in a demolition derby. Sometimes crash together, pull apart, or sideswipe each other. The place where the two plates meet is called a plate boundary. Boundaries have different names depending on how the two plates are moving in relationshio to each other—namely divergent, convergent and transform boundary.

30. what are the plates? tectonics?Explain the term "plate tectonics"
Answer:
The surface of the Earth is broken up into large plates. It’s easy to confuse these plates with the Earth’s crust – the thin outermost layer of the Earth. But there is more to the structure of the Earth than this simple image of a ‘cracked egg-shell’.
The Earth’s layers can be defined in two different ways – based on the chemical composition or the mechanical properties of the rock.
Tectonics (from Latin tectonicus; from Ancient Greek τεκτονικός (tektonikos) 'pertaining to building'[1]) are the processes that control the structure and properties of the Earth's crust and its evolution through time.
Plate tectonics (from the Late Latin: tectonicus, from the Ancient Greek: τεκτονικός, lit. 'pertaining to building')[1] is a scientific theory describing the large-scale motion of seven large plates and the movements of a larger number of smaller plates of Earth's lithosphere, since tectonic processes began on Earth between 3.3[2] and 3.5 billion years ago. The model builds on the concept of continental drift, an idea developed during the first decades of the 20th century.
