Question

name two things that can happen when tectonics plates move. *
your answer
this is a required question

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Tectonic plate movement can cause earthquakes (when plates slip past each other or collide/subduct) and the formation of mountains (when continental plates collide, like the Himalayas from Indian and Eurasian plates). Another is volcanic activity (at subduction zones or mid - ocean ridges as magma rises).

Answer:

  1. Earthquakes can occur as the plates' movement causes stress release at fault lines.
  2. Mountain ranges can form, for example, when two continental plates collide (e.g., the formation of the Himalayas from the collision of the Indian and Eurasian plates).
