Answer 2

CORRECT ANSWER:

The knuckles represent a jagged surface. When they rub together, they act as obstacles to each other. It’s difficult to move the hands freely as the knuckles catch and release one another. In the case of tectonic plates, if two plates rub, they release large amounts of energy, which can cause earthquakes.
