Answer:

1st one is: Mountain (The one with 2 arrows pointing to each other)

2nd one is: Rift Valley (The one with 2 arrows pointing in opposite directions)

3rd one is: Earthquake (The one with an arrow on top of another)

Step-by-step explanation:

When 2 plates push against each other, they push the land up and form a mountain. If 2 plates move in the opposite direction, it forms a gap between the two plates, which causes a rift valley to form. If 2 plates move on top of each other, they cause an earthquake/faultline to happen.
