The tectonic plates move and shift causing the ground to shake, and causing lava to surface.

The tectonic plates move to make earthquakes and they form volcanoes.

How tectonic plates relate to earthquakes and volcanoes is that when they shift they can cause an
earthquake or make a volcano come out of the ground.

Tectonic plates move and shift creating earthquakes.

The tectonic plates move and shift creating earth.

tectonic plates relate to earthquakes and volcanoes because they move and shift and cause earthquakes.

They shift and make earthquakes.

The tectonic plates make earthquakes and erupting valcano.

Earth makes earthquakes and erupting volcanos.

Tectonic plates shift causing the ground force the shake, lava to the surface

Matthew B said...

It relates because the plates shift making lots of movement in the ground shaking the earth producing a earthquake.

Tectonic plates relate to earthquakes because when a tectonic plate shifts it makes the earth shake and tremble, for volcanoes, the earth splits where the tectonic plates meet, and then magma comes out of the earth, cools, then creates rock, then magma comes out, creating more and more rock.

When the tectonic plates shift and it can make earthquake and volcanoes.

Jakob P said...

When the plates move it could make Volcanos or Earthquakes.

the earths plates sliding against each other and moving under each other causes earthquakes. When plates move apart magma comes up forming a mountain or volcano.

Cordelia R said...

Tectonic plates relate to both volcanoes and earthquakes because when they shift it causes earthquakes but can create volcanoes.

Kiara M said...

Tectonic plates are related to volcanoes because when the plates move it can cause earthquakes or volcanoes.

because the both make earth quakes and and volcanoes because if the tectonic plates cross they cross each other and build land and when the tectonic plates get tight and stressed they brake and cause earth quakes

Exactly

Wayne Twombly said...

I think that when the tectonic plates CLASH AND BANG together they shake and could possibly make a volcano.

Tim D said...

When plates move earthquakes happen.

Hannah perkins said...

Earthquakes happen when the plates move apart and so do volcanos.

Chris Payeur said...

Tectonic plates relate to earthquakes and volcanoes by collision and braking apart.

darren auger said...

Tectonic plates have a lot to do with earthquakes and volcanos on the surface of the earth.

earthquakes:a burst of energy explodes making the earths tectonic plates move and shift and grind together causing the ground to shake and rumble.

volcanos:

Cameron M. said...

The earths surface is made of many individual plates that are constantly moving and changing the earths outer layer. Earthquakes and volcanoes are caused by these tectonic plates rubbing against each other and them moving apart.

Abby D. said...

Tectonic plates are related to volcanoes because when the plates move it and make earthquakes or volcanoes.

Jake Esty said...

Tectonic plates are related to volcanoes and earthquakes because they can cause both of them.

Dakota Sanborn said...

The relate to earthquakes because they cause them.

Richie P. said...

The tectonic plates move, and when they do, it causes the earth to shake. It also makes volcanos by sending land and magma upwards.

Ian R. said...

The tectonic plates make the volcanoes and earthquakes.

when tectonic plates rub together they cause earth quake s and in some places open up in the earth a form a volcano

Lewin P said...

When tectonic plates move they can make volcanoes and shake the earth causing earthquakes.

Hannah M said...

Earthquakes occur when tectonic plates crash into each other or move away from each other. Volcanos are formed when tectonic plates crash into each other and force the surface of the earth upward forming the volcano.

Anonymous said...

When the plates collide it can make earthquakes because of the seismic waves it produces, and the collisions can also cause magma to rise.

DYLAN N said...

When the plates hit they make earthquakes. when the plates hit they can brake and lava can get through.

Isaiah w said...

The tectonics plates move the earths surface witch cause earthquakes.

Sameena F. said...

Tectonic plates cause earthquakes. They cause them by touching and rubbing up against each other and releasing energy. Same for volcanoes!

Nate P said...

they relate to earthquakes by pushing together until enough strength is present that one slate gets pushed on top of another slate

Megan.A said...

The earth tectnic plates rubs together that cause earthquakes and volcanoes to explodes.

Anthony B said...

Tectonic plates relate to earthquakes and volcanoes because when tectonic plates stick together it builds up pressure and when that pressure is released it creates an earthquake. Also in places where tectonic plates converge and diverge volcanoes are created.

Anthony B said...

Where plates converge and diverge it causes the magma to flow out of the opening and cools creating a volcano.

THE TROLL said...

when tectonic plates move, they can cause lava to flow out of the ground, forming a volcano.

david r said...

They relate together because the two plates crash together and make an earthquake.

hayden wilkins we dem booyyzzzz said...

when tectonic plates move they cause lava to go out of the ground witch makes a volcanoes

Will H said...

when plates move they can let lava flow out of the ground

kobe d said...

They cause earthquakes and make volcanos

Kassidy D said...

Emily P said...

When the plates crash or hit together they make earthquakes.

Nicole Printy said...

When tectonic plates hit each other they cause earthquakes which cause volcanoes to form.

Maddy S said...

Tectonic plates is what causes earthquakes, when two plates rub together, The energy causes an earthquake. In the ring of fire is where most al of the volcanos happen.
