Which of the following is true about Earth's tectonic plates? Question 13 options: They fit closely together with each plate touching all the plates surrounding it They all move in the same direction and at the same speed They are separated by oceans They move due to earthquakes and the flow of lava

Answer :

Answer: A, they fit closely together with each plate surrounding it

Explanation:

Plates meet at the edge of other plates called fault lines.

They do not all move in the same direction at the same speed, if this were the case there would be no collisions and no earthquakes or mountains as a result.

They are not separated by the ocean. This still has the earth's crust underneath it, it's just further down. Otherwise magma would be at the ocean floor.

They do not move DUE TO earthquakes and lava, however, they are the reason that these are created as they both happen due to separation or collision of plates.
