Theory has it that Australia was once part of the super continent of Pangaea, the collection of all that we know today as the continents. Over time Pangaea broke apart and left Australia by itself. This allowed unique plants and animals to develop there (e.g. kangaroos).

What movement listed is NOT a movement that tectonic plates experience?

One movement that tectonic plates do not experience is "oscillation." While tectonic plates primarily engage in movements such as convergence, divergence, and transform faulting, oscillation refers to a back-and-forth motion that is not characteristic of tectonic plate interactions. Instead, tectonic plates move in response to forces generated by the Earth's mantle and other geological processes.

What is tectonic earthquake means?

A tectonic earthquake is a sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust caused by the movement of tectonic plates. These earthquakes occur at plate boundaries where plates are colliding, sliding past one another, or moving apart. The stress built up from the movement of plates is released in the form of seismic waves, causing the ground to shake.
