What are the effects of plate tectonics on Earth's surface?

• Plate tectonics have no effect on Earth's surface.

• Plate tectonics cause the formation of deserts and arid regions.

• Plate tectonics result in the disappearance of oceans and lakes.

• Plate tectonics cause various effects on Earth's surface, including the formation of mountains, earthquakes, and the creation of oceanic trenches and volcanic activity.
