volcanoes and tectonic shift

volcanoes, the mountains that spew liquid/ molten rock called lava or magma. The ring of fire is the most famous ring for volcanoes due to its size and accompanied by so much volcanoes and mountains.


 tectonic plates move from the convection from the earth's mantle which moves/pushes the tectonic plates ( the crust). There are three types of plate movements:
1. converging plates moving together
2. diverging plates  moving away
    and
3. Transform slide past each other

Other effects is earthquakes, tsunamis and creates other fault lines.
