i think it is when two plates have pressure on both sides pushing them together and when the pressure gets overwhelming, the lighter one goes underneath the heavier one goes on top. these create volcano's and gysers.

Are both weathering and erosion a form of tectonic forces?
No. Tectonic forces are from within the earth. Weathering and erosion come from the atmosphere.
What produces the forces that form volcanoes and cause earthquakes?
Tectonic plate motion.
Which valley is formed as a result of tectonic forces?
A graben or rift valley.
The driving forces to tectonic plates are related to convection currents in earths what?
mantle.
What force occurs where Earth's plates are moving apart?
Tectonic forces (earthquakes, volcanoes...)

Who built Denali?
Tectonic forces in the earth
What produces the forces that form volcanoes and cause earthquakes?
Tectonic plate motion.
What is the definition o exogenetic and endogenetic forces and their differences?
Exogenetic Forces are which, that happen outside the Earth, and change the landform. Agents of erosion make the examples, of shaping the earth Endogentic are the opposite, they occur because inside the earth, the tectonic plates are the main reason.
What word has the definition tectonic plates push together?
When tectonic plates push together, they converge, forming a convergent boundary.
What 3 forces possibly move tectonic plates?
convection currents
Sometimes layers of rock are overturned by forces generated by?
tectonic activity
Are earthquakes caused by galactic forces?
No, they are caused by tectonic plate movements.
