Plate tectonic only directly explains ocean trenches. An ocean trench forms when an oceanic plate collides with another plate and slides under it.
Mudslides are most likely to occur in in hilly or mountainous areas. Most mountains have been formed by tectonic activity.
Ocean currents are influenced by climate and the arrangement of the continents. While plate tectonics does change the positions of the continents, it does not directly affect climate.
Tornadoes have nothing to do with plate tectonics; they are weather events.
