The danger of tectonic plates are when they hit, grow to far apart or when plate is stuck underneath another. When they hit or scrape pass each other it causes earthquakes which also canresult to a tsunami. When they grow to far apart the magma (the core of the earth on which the tectonic plate are a float on) rises past the plates where it starts gathering pressure within a volcano in till it erupts. When a tectonic plates gets stuck underneath another it sticks by the plate underneath melts by the heat and sticks it self to the other plate. Pressure gathers in till there's a suddenly the pressure is release either causing a violante earthquake or causing magma to suddenly burst through the ground.
Tsunamis are mainly cause by earthquakes, when the tectonic plate it stuck underneath another, which cause the water 'bump' up with extreme force which ends up creating a tsunami. These plates are made out of the molten rock with lies in the molten core which just literally float on the molten magma moving at a rate of 10-40mm a year, though they have devastating results.

What is the midatlantic ridge?
The Mid-Atlanic Ridge is the divergent boundary that is responsible for seafloor spreading. Consisting mostly of divergent boundaries, with transform faults as well, this is the site where new oceanic crust is added, increasing the size of the ocean. This location is dotted with underwater volcanoes as igneous basaltic magma is added to fill in the gap left as the oceanic plates drift away.
