Answer 2

ANSWER:

Tornadoes can't be explained by the "movement of the tectonic plates".

EXPLANATION:

• Tornadoes are not caused because of the "movement of tectonic plates" but because of winds.

• When winds develop into high pressure storms and these come in contact with the surface of the air as well as cumulonimbus clouds, tornadoes take place.

• Tornadoes are fast moving air columns that move in a circular pattern and have such a high intensity that they destroy everything that comes in the way.

• Mountains, earthquakes and volcanoes are all formed because of "movement of tectonic plates".
