Seismicity

"An earthquake is the result of the collision between two tectonic plates, their displacement or rearrangement. These movements release energy in the form of seismic waves. The point where the earthquake originates is callled the hypocenter or focus., and the point directly above the hypocenter and over the Earth's crust is called the epicenter."Source:Universidad Tecmilenio || Bachillerato.

Seismicity

"Is the consequence of the multiple movements of the tectonic plates." When two tectonic plates collide. with each other, Plates Convergencee" happen. "This collision causes the formation of subduction zones. The consequences of this phenomenon is intense earthquakes and volcanic activity. "(translated).Sources:Editor Geoxnet. (2020, April 7).

Volcanism

There are two types of plateaus: 1. Dissected plateau: they are formed when there's a upward movement in crust of the Earth. 2. Volcanic plateau: Is formed by volcanic eruptions.Source:Major Landforms Of The Earth: Types of Plateaus: UPSC Note on Major Landforms Of The Earth: Types of Plateaus. (2022, February 23).

"Mountains are the highest elevations of the crust." "They are originated where two continental plates collide." "Underwater mountains are formed when tectonic plates spread away from one another..., mountains formation occurs more often in oceans than on land."Source:Universidad Tecmilenio || Bachillerato.

Mountains

"They are originated through volcanic, or erosion a processes: the upwelling of volcanic magma, the extrusion of lava." "They are built over million years as pieces of Earth's crust smash into each other, melt, and gurgle, back toward the surface. Some owe their creation to a single process; others have been subjected to more than one during different epochs of Earth's history."Sources: Plateaus. (2021, May 3).

Plateaus

"Plains are formed in many different ways, some are form as ice and water erodes, others are formed by volcano activity, lava plains form when lava pushes up from below ground and flows across the land." Source: Plain. (n.d.). https://education.nationalgeographic.org/resource/plain/
