Earthquakes are cause when two tectonic
plates grind together.
This can happen on converging and
transverse plate boundaries.

Places where earthquakes are centred are
called fault lines
6.
Volcanoes are caused by one tectonic plate
slipping under the other.
This allows magma from the mantle below
come to the earth’s surface.
Trench is created
Plate going below the other

Mountains are made by two plates coming
together.
The rock has nowhere to go so it moves
upwards making a mountain

This is called mountain building

Valleys and trenches are made by plates
moving apart.
As the plate move apart the new rock from
the mantle isn’t as high as the rock of the
plate.

Valleys and trenches are made by plates
moving apart.
As the plate move apart the new rock from
the mantle isn’t as high as the rock of the
plate.
This can also cause mounds of new rock
overtime higher than the plates.
