Answer:

False.

Step-by-step explanation:

Tectonic movement is mostly related to other things. Geologists suggest that it has to be with convection currents in the earth's mantle. These movements can cause effects on the earth such as earthquakes. They also originated mountains and even ranges, such as the Himalayan Mountain rage. Due to this, the answer is false.
