Tectonic plate movement over the past 20 million years has pushed these deposits north from their origin near modern-day Mexico.

However, plate movement alone does not account for the high elevation of the Basin and Range region.

It lies up to 100 m below sea level as a result of tectonic activity caused by plate movements.

The crust is too th k for plate movement and mountain building.

The vast majority are located near areas of tectonic plate movement, known as ocean ridges.

So we could learn what we might be able to do to stabilize plate movement on the West Coast.

The effect of this it to cause convection, and plate movement.

The shallow seismicity is characteristically distributed across a wide area of plate movement.

The islands experience many earthquakes from plate movement and volcanism.

At that time, without exception, the clocks had wooden plate movements.
