Natural phenomena such a mountain formation occur at the tectonic plates.

Explanation:

The mountains are formed when tectonic plates are moving in the crust of the Earth. The mountains usually form in the convergent boundaries, which means that plates are moving towards each other.

While convergent plates collide, the divergent boundary is a linear characteristic that exists between two plates that are moving away from each other and make rifts.
