The Role of Plate Tectonics in the Formation of Different Landforms
Introduction Plate tectonics is a fundamental geological theory that explains the movement of Earth’s lithospheric plates and their interactions. This dynamic process shapes Earth’s surface, creating various landforms through mechanisms such as divergence, convergence, and transform motion. The movement of these plates leads to the formation of mountains, valleys, volcanoes, oceanic trenches, rift valleys, and…
