Movement of Earth’s tectonic plates can cause the formation of landforms and natural disasters. The movement of tectonic plates is caused by:
mountain
colliding tectonic plates
Two tectonic plates of oceanic crust are converging.
after three tectonic plates come together one of them stops spreading
Flow of convection currents in the mantle
as the plates pull apart, magma moves to the surface, building ridges
Volcanic mountain range
California is located on the boundary of two tectonic plates, while Texas is not.
A convergent boundary is formed when two tectonic plates meet and push against each other. What type of land form would occur at this type of boundary?
