I think d is right answer

wolfingerdakota: sorry, but the reason we get earthquakes and mountain ranges is because tectonic plates (the separate parts of earth's crust) move in seperate directions and rub against each other.

The correct answer is option (d) Earth's crust is divided into several large plates that do not move relative to each other.

  • The crust may be a little shell outside the planet, accounting for fewer than 1 Chronicles of the surface. it's the higher a part of the layer, the world separating the quilt and therefore the higher a part of the coat. The layer is split into tectonic plates whose movement permits heat to pass from the earth's atmosphere to the atmosphere.
  • The crust lies on the material, a stable configuration as a result of the highest layer is formed of igneous rock and thus a lot of larger than the crust. The boundary between the quilt and therefore the coat is typically set within the within the, the boundary outlined by the magnitude of the earthquake speed.
