multiple-choice question
what builds around the sticking edges of the tectonic plates?
matter
light
energy

Explanation:

To solve this, we recall the concept of tectonic plates. At the sticking edges (where plates interact and stick), energy builds up due to the stress from the plates trying to move. Matter is too general, light is not related to tectonic plate interactions. So the correct option is energy.

Answer:

energy (the option corresponding to "energy" in the multiple - choice options)
