... The earth's crust is in constant motion. The earth's most quake-prone belts surround the Pacific Ocean and cross Eurasia along the Alps and the Himalayas. The mid-ocean ridges can also be regarded as belts of frequent earthquakes. The shield areas of the continents, on the other hand, are much less ...

... Two continental lithospheres collide and move upward to form mountains, and as the higher layers grid upwards the lower levels will sink downwards and melt. This is occurring where the Indian and Eurasian plates have been colliding for millions of years. This process formed the Himalayan mountains. ...

As super-cooled and elemental gas (turned liquid) flows emerge from the under-sea rifts, this dense fluid mix descends to the deeper ocean floor where less than a half mile of sediments separate the ocean water from 2500o F molten mantle rock.

Tectonic–climatic interaction
Tectonic–climatic interaction is the interrelationship between tectonic processes and the climate system. The tectonic processes in question include orogenesis, volcanism, and erosion, while relevant climatic processes include atmospheric circulation, orographic lift, monsoon circulation and the rain shadow effect. As the geological record of past climate changes over millions of years is sparse and poorly resolved, many questions remain unresolved regarding the nature of tectonic-climate interaction, although it is an area of active research by geologists and palaeoclimatologists.
