Pressure that is released from these two plates cause the earth’s surface is shake violently. This will be a hazard for people living along coastlines‚ and has proved to be a major hazard for countries like the Philippines. Collision of two continental plates can cause highly damaging earthquakes and affect a wider area‚ not just coastlines

tectonics states that the Earth’s lithosphere (top layer of the Earth’s crust) is split up into rigid sections called plates that are moving relative to one another as they move on top of the underlying semi-molten mantle. These plates are either continental‚ The North American Plate‚ or oceanic‚ The Nazca Plate. Tectonic plates are powered by convection currents‚ which is the circular movement of magma within the mantle. These currents are powered by the core‚ which heats the magma‚ causing it to

The plate tectonic theory is the theory that describes large amounts of movements in the Earths lithosphere‚ whereby Continental and Oceanic crust is moved‚ destroyed and made from this. The idea of plate tectonics builds on other concepts such as continental drift‚ where continental plates over millions of years move‚ however the concept of continental drift was not accepted for some time‚ and there were many other theories to suggest that something else took place‚ as the idea of the earth moving
