Plate tectonics is the theory that Earths outer shell is divided into large plates that move around. These movements create different landforms..:
1. Divergent Boundaries: Plates move apart, forming rift valleys on land and mid ocean ridges under water.
2. Convergent Boundaries: Plates collide, creating mountains when continental plates meet, and volcanoes when oceanic plates subduction beneath continental plates.
3. Transform Boundaries: Plates slide past each other, causing earthquakes.
Plate tectonics shapes Earths surface by forming mountains, volcanoes, valleys, and causing earthquakes through the movement and interaction of these plates.
hope this helps!
