Answer 1

Faults, folding, ridges, mountains, valleys and volcanic arcs are formed when the plates move because​ of the collision of tectonic plates below the ground.

• Tectonic plates are made up of continental and oceanic lithosphere.
• Movement of these tectonic plates forms convergent, divergent, and transform tectonic boundaries.
• When these plates collide a fracture/fault is created in the Earth`s crust. This builds up pressure below the Earth`s surface.
• Later the pressure is released resulting in an earthquake.
