Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Tectonic Landforms-Mountain Building The motions of the plates have a tremendous ability to shape and deform rocks through a variety of processes that include folding, faulting, extension, and on a massive scale, mountain building.
Detailed explanation-2: -Earthquakes occur along fault lines, cracks in Earth’s crust where tectonic plates meet. They occur where plates are subducting, spreading, slipping, or colliding. As the plates grind together, they get stuck and pressure builds up. Finally, the pressure between the plates is so great that they break loose.
