    - Plate movements on Earth's crust create stress.

    - This adds energy to the crust, which then bends and breaks, forming mountains and geological basins.

    Explanation:

    The tectonic plates literally float over the magma. Thus, what makes the tectonic plates move is precisely the movement of this magma! And this movement does not happen at all, but in a cyclical variation, which we call Earth convection currents or cells.

    The movement of tectonic plates moving over the asthenosphere (pasty part) interacting over time in a geodynamic process that results in the origin of mountains and geological basins, causing seismic quakes (earthquakes and tidal wave), volcanism, magmatism and other geological events (formation of mountain ranges and underwater pits) all due to these plate movements.

    stress and faults

    Explanation:

    Plate movements on Earth's crust create stress.

    This adds energy to the crust, which then bends and breaks, forming ⇒ faults.
