What results from the movement of tectonic plates?

Answer 1

When plates move against each other, it can create a subduction of one beneath the other, or it can build stress that is relieved by motion in the perpendicular direction.

As tectonic plates drift apart (at a divergent or constructive boundary), they allow magma to well up from below. In the ocean, this forms mid-oceanic ridges. On the land, it can create a rift or rift valley. Many rifts never progress and become failed rifts.

Answer 2

The transfer of heat from the interior of the planet to the surface which is the cause of tectonic plate movement creates surface features such as rifts, mountains, volcanic mountains, island chains, basins, folded rock, faults, and trenches. Geologic activity resulting from plate tectonics includes volcanism, landslides, avalanches, desertification, and tsunami and earthquake activity.

Answer 3

As you most likely are aware of, when tectonic plates shift, they cause earthquakes, tsunamis, and other catastrophes.

Answer 4

it causes a tsunami and a earthquake!!

Answer 5

earthquake
