Answer:

Where plates come into contact, energy is released. I think that the plates sliding past each other cause friction and heat. Subducting plates melt into the mantle, and diverging plates create new crust material. Subducting plates, where one tectonic plate is being driven under another, are associated with volcanoes and earthquakes.

Explanation: ahh i hope this helped :)
