Thanks for the question,
- The molten rock from the cloth exploded next to the hole, forming a new crust. Earthquakes occur in these areas, called distribution centers, are minimal. The Great Rift Valley in Africa, the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden were all formed as a result of the movement of various plates.
- The changing plate border is the area where two tectonic plates move to each other, often causing one plate to slide under the other. A collision of tectonic plates could lead to earthquakes, mountains, mountain construction, and other geological events.
- When two tectonic plates slide past each other, the area where they meet is a rotating or lateral error. The San Andreas Fault is one of the best examples of lateral plate movement.
- The air, water, and ice erode and shape the earth. Volcanic activity and earthquakes are changing the landscape in a dramatic and often violent way. And with more time, the movement of the plates of the earth also exposes the oceans and continents. (Check the image for evidence)
