Question 1 Report

Earth movements generate tensional forces that
Answer Details
Earth movements generate tensional forces that pull the crust apart. Tensional forces are generated when two plates move away from each other, creating a gap or a rift. As the plates move apart, the tension between them causes the crust to stretch and thin, forming a basin or a depression. This can lead to the formation of a rift valley or a mid-ocean ridge. The tensional forces can also cause earthquakes and volcanic eruptions as the magma rises to the surface through the cracks in the crust.
