Mountains, volcanoes, earthquake zones
The Earth's crust is broken up into several lithospheric or tectonic plates. These plates are constantly moving atop the Earth's mantle (semi-solid layer of molten rocks). Based upon their motion, tectonic plates are referred to as converging or diverging. Converging tectonic plates move towards each other and form convergent boundary. Diverging tectonic plates move away from each other and form divergent boundary.
Shifting,sliding,diverging ,converging etc . of tectonic plates.
tectonic plates
Many earthquakes are produced act converging plates. However a number of strong earthquakes also take place at transform boundaries where plates slide past one another, neither converging nor diverging. On rare occasions strong quakes will take place within a plate.
tectonic plate
The type of tectonic forces that create mountains are called converging plates. As two continental plates push together, the stress forces them both upwards. Because of this the Himalayas are still growing.
Converging plates come together. They converge together. Diverging plates come apart.

tectonic plates
Converging tectonic plates pushed together and they bent and pushed up word causing the mountains to be formed.
The tectonic plates, part of the lithosphere, move around and float on the top of the asthenosphere.
It is when Earth's tectonic plates move around.
