What are geologic processes/vents that will occur because of this plate movement?
The modification of geological features by natural processes.
that Catastrophism proposes that Earth's geological features were mainly formed by sudden, short-lived events such as floods or volcanic eruptions, while Uniformitarianism suggests that these features were shaped over long periods of time by gradual, continuous processes like erosion and sedimentation.

The geologic principle that the same geologic processes that operate today operated in the past to change Earth's surface.
A geologic function refers to the processes and activities that shape and alter the Earth's structure and materials over time. These functions include processes such as erosion, sedimentation, volcanic activity, and tectonic movements, which collectively influence landforms, rock formations, and the distribution of natural resources. Understanding these functions is essential for interpreting Earth's history and predicting future geological changes.
Geologic processes occur constantly over long periods of time. These processes can include volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, erosion, and the movement of Earth's tectonic plates. They shape the Earth's surface and create the landscapes we see today.
Erosion and metamorphosis.
The geologic process that helps form gold ore, oil, and aquifers is called hydrothermal processes. These processes involve the movement of hot fluids within the Earth's crust that can transport and deposit valuable resources like gold, create conditions for oil reservoir formation, and create natural underground water reservoirs known as aquifers.
