Plates move because of convection currents in the mantle(Google it) when they move they collide. depending on how they meet they can form a variety of things. if one plate goes under the other it will create a trench, if they both run into each other and go up it creates a mountain or volcano depending if it fills with magma
Earthquakes, volcanoes and mountains are formed via plate tectonics. When the large continental plates collide, they either cause temporary earthquakes, or more permanent features such as volcanoes and mountains.
Plate tectonics cause earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and the formation of mountain ranges around the world. Movement of the Earth's plates can also trigger tsunamis and affect the climate by creating ocean currents and shifting continents.
Plate tectonics is considered to be a unifying theory because a consensus finds it to be true. Most scientists believe the plate tectonics cause volcanoes and earthquakes.
volcanoes: make the ground crumble and break and cause plates to move and smash earthquakes: makes the ground break and smash together and causes plates because they break when they hit each other.
Plate tectonics help explain the movement of Earth's crustal plates and how they interact at plate boundaries to create features such as mountains, earthquakes, and volcanoes. It also helps to understand the distribution of earthquakes and volcanic activity around the world.
*volcanoes Earthquakes and vOlcanoes can cause much damage among an area if it's shaken to pieces.
because of these buts
In most cases, neither. Most earthquakes are the result of plate tectonics and most volcanoes form from plate tectonics as well, but one does not usually cause the other. However, volcanoes can and do cause earthquakes, espcially if they are getting ready to erupt. On rarer occasions, earthquakes have been suspected of triggering volcanic eruptions.
Earthquakes can cause a volcano to erupt.
plate tectonics
Plate tectonics is related to natural hazards because the movement of tectonic plates can cause earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and tsunamis. These events can lead to significant damage to infrastructure, loss of life, and environmental impacts. Understanding plate tectonics helps predict and mitigate the risks associated with these natural hazards.
Plate tectonics causes most volcanoes and earthquakes. When plates converge, diverge, or slip along another plate, volcanoes and earthquakes occur. There are other forms of volcanoes such as the Hawaiian Islands where volcanoes are formed over a hot spot in the mantel, and we have small earthquakes here in Wisconsin called rebound earthquakes where the land is actually still rising from the last ice age when it was depressed by the weight of the glaciers. There are other geophysical events that can create earthquakes too such as fracking.
