Answer:

- Plate movements on Earth’s crust create stress.

- This adds energy to the crust, which then bends and breaks, forming mountains and geological basins.

Explanation:

    The tectonic plates literally float over the magma. Thus, what makes the tectonic plates move is precisely the movement of this magma! And this movement does not happen at all, but in a cyclical variation, which we call Earth convection currents or cells.

    The movement of tectonic plates moving over the asthenosphere (pasty part) interacting over time in a geodynamic process that results in the origin of mountains and geological basins, causing seismic quakes (earthquakes and tidal wave), volcanism, magmatism and other geological events (formation of mountain ranges and underwater pits) all due to these plate movements.

Stress forces are created by the movement of the Earth's plates, which push or pull the crust.

1)Plate movement on the Earth's crust creates stress.

When enough tension builds up in a rock, it cracks, forming a fault.

2)This adds energy to the crust, which then bends and breaks, forming Faults.

Types of stress:

  • Tension,
  • compression
  • and shearing

are the three basic types of stress in rocks. By squeezing or tugging the rock from the crust, these stress forces can produce deformation or any changes in the rock's shape and volume.

Plate tectonics is a scientific hypothesis that explains how the earth's crust moves. Convection currents in the molten rock in Earth's mantle beneath the crust are most likely to blame for the movement of these tectonic plates.

This tectonic action produces earthquakes and volcanoes in the short term.
