Question

Explain how plate tectonics have changed Earth’s surface over time. Include the role of plate tectonics in the creation of land forms.

Answer 1

When tectonic plates collide can form mountain ranges or large mountains, for example, the Himalayas is formed from the collision of two plates.

On the other hand when there is subduction (an oceanic plate sinks under the continental plate) mountainous systems are also formed, the lower plate melts and generates volcanic eruptions such as those that form some of the Andes mountains in South America.

Finally, deep depressions such as the Great Rift Valley are formed on land where plates are separated.Explanation:

Answer 2

Plate tectonics have changed the earths surface by folding and faults causing the land to be pushed up, creating the land we walk today, and then those plates began to move and shift, causing land to break apart and move into the positions we see them in today
