what are the result due to movement of the plates
Answers
Explanation:
Geologists have hypothesized that the movement of tectonic plates is related to convection currents in the earth's mantle. ... Tremendous heat and pressure within the earth cause the hot magma to flow in convection currents. These currents cause the movement of the tectonic plates that make up the earth's crust.
Earthquake is what that comes in our mind when we think about this question but this is all what happens:-
What is the Result of the Movement of the Tectonic Plates ?
i. The movements of tectonic plates results in the building up of stresses within the plates and the continental rocks above.
ii. The stresses cause folding, faulting and volcanic activity.
There are two types of plates:-
Converging plates
Diverging plates
When two plates come towards each other, they are termed as converging plates.
They may collide each other.
They may crumble.
One may slide under the other.
They may pass over each other.
iii. The movement of these crustal plates has changed the position and size of the continents over millions of years.
iv. These movements have also influenced the evolution of the present land form features or relief of India.
