Which event below cannot be explained by the movement of the tectonic plates? a. earthquakes b. mountain formation c. volcanoes d. tornadoes

ANSWER:

Tornadoes can't be explained by the "movement of the tectonic plates".

EXPLANATION:

Tornadoes are not caused because of the "movement of tectonic plates" but because of winds. When winds develop into high pressure storms and these come in contact with the surface of the air as well as cumulonimbus clouds, tornadoes take place. Tornadoes are fast moving air columns that move in a circular pattern and have such a high intensity that they destroy everything that comes in the way. Mountains, earthquakes and volcanoes are all formed because of "movement of tectonic plates".
