Answer:

1. volcanoes and earthquakes

2. ridge push

3. mountain building

4. trench formation

5. slab pull

6. subduction

Step-by-step explanation:

1. volcanoes and earthquakes: An earthquake is a product of friction on the edge of tectonic plates. A volcanic process can be a product of the subduction of tectonic plates, volcanoes also usually form at the borders of tectonic plates, at divergent borders and at convergence borders

2. ridge push: is a proposed driving force for plate motion in plate tectonics that occurs at mid-ocean ridges.

3. mountain building:They are formed when the tectonic plates fold back or roll up, generating alterations in the earth's crust and giving rise to the elevations

4. trench formation: Trenches are formed by subduction, because two or more of Earth's tectonic plates converge and the older, denser plate is pushed beneath the lighter plate and deep into the mantle, causing the seafloor and outermost crust (the lithosphere) to bend and form a steep, V-shaped depression.

5.slab pull: Slab pull is that part of the motion of a tectonic plate caused by its subduction.

6.Subduction:

An oceanic lithospheric plate sinks under another plate, either oceanic or continental. In this way the mountain range of the Andes was formed
