<u>ANSWER:</u>

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

<u>EXPLANATION:</u>

  • 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".
