Question

Explain how the movement of tectonic plates can affect local environments

Answer 1

If they rub together it can make earthquakes and cause landslides or buildings to topple.

Answer 2

Answer and explanation;

• Tectonic plates have various effects on the local environments or living things on earth's surface.
• Plate tectonics form the oceans, continents, and mountains. Tectonic plates also help us understand why and where events like earthquakes and volcanoes erupt.
• The movement of tectonic plates also changes the oceanic currents which directly impacts climate.
• The constant movement of tectonic plates may cause earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. The movement of tectonic plates is as a result of convection currents originating from deep in the mantle.
