How does the earth's surface move?

Answer 1

the earth's surface is known to move because of the shifting and sliding of thick sections of rock called plates, which is where the earth's crust sits on. This movement can cause magma, gas, and ash to shoot up and cause a volcano, and also cause an earthquake when the plates shift and slide.

Answer 2

The Earth's surface moves due to plate tectonics, where large slabs of the Earth's lithosphere (crust and upper mantle) shift and interact with each other. This movement can lead to the formation of mountains, earthquakes, and volcanic activity. Additionally, the Earth's surface is also subject to erosion and deposition processes driven by natural forces such as wind, water, and ice.
