Answer: Earth's crust is divided into plates.

The plates move.

Volcanoes, trenches, earthquakes, and mid-ocean ridges are the results of plate movement.

Explanation: The first statement, "All tectonic plates move in the same way," is not a part of the theory of plate tectonics. Tectonic plates move, but they don't all move in the same way; their movement is diverse and can involve collision, separation, or sliding past each other.
