Question

Answer 1

It depends in which way the plates are moving.

Subduction...etc...

depending on the fault lines, they will move slowly, either creating land, suck land down, cause the plates to go under each other, earth quakesm tsunamis, etc....

look it up on wikipedia.com

Answer 2

As the Earth ages the tectonic plates move causing Earthquakes Volcanos, floods, create land, and change land.

Answer 3

~Well, then, you might try punching "tectonic plates" into a search engine and choosing from the myriad of results that will produce, read a few, then use a little common sense, logic and deductive reasoning to formulate your answer. Might I suggest you write your answer up in on the slopes of Kilauea, the shores of Indonesia or somewhere along the San Andreas or Hayward fault, or some like spot along the ring of fire.

Answer 4

No. The impression of the Moon is understood to be necessary for existence to enhance interior the 1st place, yet now that it has stronger, doing away with that impression does no longer end existence abruptly. yet over many (thousands and thousands?) of years existence could steadily decline simply by fact the tides are not mixing the sea waters from now on and the Earth's 23.5 degree axial tilt will become volatile without the stabilizing Moon, messing up the seasons.

Answer 5
