Tectonic hazards are events caused by the Tectonic plates below the Earth's crust colliding with each other, moving against each other, moving apart or the oceanic less dense plate being subducted under the continental plate. For example, Earthquakes, Volcanoes and Tsunami's.
The most well known tsunami is the boxing day 2004 Asian tsunami, which claimed over 200,000 lives. A well known earthquake is the Sichuan Earthquake, which occured in may 2008, in China.
To be classified as a hazard the event must be able to result in death, injury, or property damage.
earthquakes, volcanoes mountains and tsunamis
harry hess named the tectonic plates but I'm not sure why =/
It is when the tectonic plates form and grow older.
Tectonic plates and fault lines created by the movement of tectonic plates.
Any area where two or more tectonic plates do not touch each other is a not a tectonic plate boundary.
North America is much bigger than pacific tectonic plate.From :Lyssa
tectonic hazards are where two plates rub together
Earthquakes. Japan lies on a tectonic boundary.
Such hazards you may expect at tectonic plate boundaries are Earthquakes, Volcanoes and/or Tsunamis.
polution, volcanoes and earthquakes
Um... not sure what you mean by 'tectonic harzards' however, a tsunami IS caused by tectonic plates. As the plates move, if an earthquake appears underwater, a lot of water will be displaced. The water will rush away from the area where the earthquake occured. When it hits land a tsunami appears. Hope that helps.
A Tectonic Hazard is caused where two plates meet, these plates are platforms of rock that move on the convewction currents created by the earths core; they are known as tectonic plates. Tectonic hazards are the most obvious in the form of volcanoes and earthquakes, however they can also be other events that are linked to Earthquakes and volcanoes such as tsunamis.

a tectonic hazard is a disaster caused by the moving of tectonic plates.....anda tectonic activity is the moving of tectonic plates........
biological hazards, chemical hazards, ergonomic hazards, and physical hazards
Classifications for occupational hazards include physical hazards, chemical hazards, and biological hazards. Psychosocial hazards and mechanical hazards are the other two classifications.
indirect hazards are hazards that have immediate affect, while direct hazards are hazards that is caused by something else before it affects
They are called tectonic or lithospheric plates.
