to understand why mountains and trenches formed
why scientists use models to represent earths process

Plasticity means that there is enough movement in the asthenosphere to allow thelithospheric plates to move.
The earth is broken up into plates. Even when the world was called Pangaea, there were still plates. The plates begin to move, however, only about 1 cm a year. This is why we now have continents. Scientists predict that a few 100 years from now, the world will look even more different. If you type in the earths tech tonic plates into wikipedia, it might help you a little more than i did.
Not very many really except it might tip over because of the movements of the tectonic plates.
Scientists studying plate tectonics might predict that tectonic plates will continue to shift, leading to the formation of new mountains and ocean basins. They may also predict an increase in volcanic and seismic activity along plate boundaries due to the movement of plates.
Earth's climates might be different because they won't be the same
Convection cells in the Earth's mantle can drive the movement of tectonic plates, which in turn can affect the Earth's crust through processes like subduction, where one plate is forced beneath another. This movement can cause earthquakes, volcanic activity, and the formation of mountain ranges as plates collide or separate.
You might want to purchase commemorative plates as collectibles. Alternatively, you may want to purchase commemorative plates to remember an occasion.
The plates nearest to it. But it might have been an ancient plate
