Earthquakes, Volcanoes and tsunamis caused by Plate Tectonics (movement of the earth’s crust) kill thousands of people every year. How would you stop PT? Would you like to join an organization that would come up with both serious and for fun answers to the problem of PT? The name of the organization is Stop PLAte TecTonics (SPLATT).

First of all it is impossible for us to stop plate tectonics. But, it will naturally happen millions or even billions of years in the future.
Of all the natural disasters related to plate tectonics, earthquakes are by far the most destructive for human life and infrastructure. Nevertheless, earthquakes do not kill people by itself, improperly constructed buildings are the real killers.

the in ordinary words possible way plate tectonics may end is that if the earths center cooled, in which case the earths magnetic field may be a great deal weakened and we may all die for radiation poisoning. The earths floor may bombarded by using severe means radiation from area and the sunlight, now to not teach what may take position even as a photo voltaic flare actual hit us. Geologically speaking erosion does not flatten each and every thing because maximum of our environment may be striped off by using photo voltaic winds leaving little or no erosion, like Mars. So if the radiation did not kill the shortcoming of breathable air may.

The only way is to cool the mantle and core. For an example, see Mars, which had plate tectonics, but cooled (due to smaller size), and is now a "dead" planet.

plate tectonics, the living earth is why we exist

to stop it would be utterly foolish

we have to accept the small "catastrophies" of earthquakes and volcanoes

stop the flow of molten lava in the mantle. Cool down the core. But if we do that (not saying that its possible), that will disrupt the magnetic field and the sun's solar radiation would fry us

You would kill the living planet.Change is part of life. God never said life was safe or easy and God will not protect us from life because then their would be no life.

you physically can't. the plates are so huge and have so much momentum, you'd never be able to generate enough force to stop them.
