How does the movement of tectonic plates shape the earth surfaces?
The constent collideing and shifting causes mountain ranges to grow larger and faults to form. Edit: The theory of plate tectonics has shaped the surface of the Earth through collision and shifting movements as said previously. Consequently, mountain ranges and faults form on the surface of the Earth. Additionally, Earth has seven or eight major plates, depending on how one would define them, as well as minor plates. The boundary, whether it is convergent, divergent, or transform, is determined by the relative motion. Forming along these boundaries are earthquakes, volcanic activity, mountains, and ocean trenches. The lateral relative movement of the plates can range from 0-100 mm each year.

How many mountains on earth on higher than 8000 meters?
Oh, dude, there are 14 mountains on Earth that are higher than 8000 meters. Yeah, they're like the elite club of the mountain world, towering above the rest like they own the place. So, if you're looking to join the "8000 meters and up" crew, you better start climbing... or just admire them from afar, you know, whatever floats your boat.
What are the tallest eight mountain ranges in the world?
Because mountain ranges have varying heights, you cannot say which is the highest range. Although I suppose if you had nothing better to do you could compute the average heights. However, the highest mountain is Everest in the Himalayas, and it is still growing by a couple of centimetres a year, I believe.
