Introduction

Tectonic activity, the movement of the Earth’s lithosphere caused by the forces of plate tectonics, plays a crucial role in shaping the landscapes that we see today. From the formation of mountains to the creation of valleys and the shifting of continents, tectonic activity has been instrumental in shaping the Earth’s surface over millions of years. Understanding the impact of tectonic activity on landscapes is essential for geologists, environmental scientists, and policymakers in predicting and mitigating natural hazards such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and landslides.

This project aims to explore the role of tectonic activity in shaping landscapes, focusing on how different tectonic processes, such as subduction, rifting, and collision, influence the formation and evolution of landforms. By examining case studies from around the world, we will investigate the relationship between tectonic activity and landscape features, such as mountains, valleys, and coastlines. Through this research, we hope to gain a deeper understanding of the dynamic nature of Earth’s surface and the forces that continue to shape it.
