    The movement of tectonic plates can cause:

    Different types of earthquakes and volcanic activity due to their concentration on their edges or to the energy released once said movement occurs.

    Explanation:

    The tectonic plates belong to the lithosphere, which is located just below the continental crust or the oceanic crust, so all the movement it makes is reflected on the Earth's surface, in some cases these movements release contained energy in the asthenosphere or in the lithosphere itself, which it finds reflected in a high or low level earthquake, as well as the incitement of volcanic activity.
