Question

the passage describes the movement of tectonic plates as a dynamic and ongoing process. based on this description, which of the following inferences can be made about the earths surface in the distant future?
answer:
a. the earths surface will remain largely unchanged, with only minor alterations.
b. the earths surface will eventually become static as plate movement ceases.
c. the earths surface will continue to undergo significant changes due to plate tectonics.
d. the earths surface will be primarily shaped by erosion rather than plate tectonics.

Explanation:

The description of tectonic - plate movement as dynamic implies continuous change. Tectonic activity is a major factor in shaping the Earth's surface. So, significant changes are expected in the future due to plate tectonics.

Answer:

C. The Earth's surface will continue to undergo significant changes due to plate tectonics
