This question is incomplete, here´s the complete question
What causes geologic events such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and the creation of mountains?
A. position of the planets
B. atmospheric pressure
C. ocean tides
D. lithospheric plate movement
Answer: D. lithospheric plate movement
Explanation:
The lithosphere is the layer at the Earth's surface and is formed by tectonic plates. Prompted by deep thermal pressure, the lithospheric plates continually move, and resulting fractures of rock can create a release of energy as seismic waves, meaning earthquakes.
Mountains are often formed by the collision of two continental plates, through tectonic and volcanic activity.
