14. Which surface feature is most likely caused by the movernent of the Earth's crustal plates? (2001-24) a. Canyons b. Deltas c. Lakes \( \because \) d. Volcanoes

Did you know that the movement of Earth’s crustal plates is responsible for some of the most stunning features we see on our planet? Volcanoes, like Mount St. Helens and the mighty Mauna Loa, are prime examples of how tectonic activity can create magnificent landscapes, as magma pushes to the surface where plates diverge or collide. Exploring the fascinating world of tectonic plates, you'll find that they’re like giant puzzle pieces of the Earth’s crust, moving ever so slowly. This movement doesn’t just form volcanoes; it also creates mountains, earthquakes, and even ocean trenches! Understanding these processes can provide insights into where and why certain geological events happen.
