Earth's Tectonic Plates and Forces

How did Earth's crust form the boundaries of tectonic plates?

• Through continuous volcanic eruptions.

• By cooling and cracking of the hot Earth.

• Due to the impact of large asteroids.

• From the accumulation of ice and snow.

What is the primary force driving the movement of Earth's tectonic plates?

• Gravitational pull from the Moon.

• The rotation of the Earth.

• Trapped heat from Earth's formation.

• Ocean currents and tides.

What geological feature develops when tectonic plates pull apart, and what natural phenomenon is associated with it?

• Mountains; earthquakes.

• Subduction zones; tsunamis.

• Diverging rifts; volcanic eruptions.

• Fault lines; landslides.
