Causes and effects of plate tectonics?

Plate tectonics is caused by the movement of the Earth's lithosphere, driven by the heat from the Earth's interior. The effects of plate tectonics include earthquakes, volcanic activity, the formation of mountain ranges, and the creation and destruction of ocean basins. Plate movements also influence the distribution of landmasses and contribute to the shaping of Earth's geography over time.
