Front

Effects of tectonic plate movement

Back

Tectonic plate movement creates mountains, ocean trenches, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions.

Front

Lithosphere and geological events

Back

The rigid lithosphere breaks and shifts, causing earthquakes, fault lines, and volcanic activity.

Front

Convergent plate boundaries

Back

Plates collide, forming mountains and trenches.

Front

Divergent plate boundaries

Back

Plates separate, leading to the formation of new crust or ocean basins.

Front

Transform plate boundaries

Back

Plates slide past each other, causing earthquakes.

Front

Constructive forces

Back

Volcanic eruptions build new land, and plate movements form mountains.

Front

Destructive forces

Back

Erosion wears down landforms, earthquakes destroy structures, and landslides reshape landscapes.
