The mountain building process in which layers of land bend and buckle to release pressure is called fold lines or faulting. This process includes earthquakes and volcanoes in orogeny.

How do motions affect Earth's crust?
Plate motions produce stress in Earths crust that leads to faults, mountain building, and earthquakes.

What are Mountains and basins?
A mountain is a natural, large elevation in the Earths surface. A basin is a depression in the Earths surface containing water.
What is the difference between vulcanicity and volcanicity?
Vulcanicity is a process through which gaseous, liquid and solid materials are forced out of the earths crust to the earths surface. Volcanicity is the process where igneous materials reaches the earths surface from the earths crust to the earth surface
