If you could see the electric field coming off a proton you would notice that electric field lines are what?

The electric field generated by a proton is a radial field, so we would see the field lines going radially from the proton toward every direction. I've attached a picture representing the electric field generated by a positive charge, such as a proton, and we can see the field lines going radially from the charge toward every direction. 

Depending on how the continental plates move it can cause a continental scale shift.
