this is a required question
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).
