Wide, tectonically mobile parts of the earth's crust,
According to the nature of the surface, the plains are divided into
flat and hilly
If the plain is located 200 m above sea level, then it is called
a lowland
medium mountains
Scandinavian mountains
Larger, less mobile, more stable parts of the Earth's crust (only slowly moving vertically) are called
platforms.
The collision of continental and oceanic plates is called
subduction
Plains whose surface is more than 500 m above the sea level are called
mountainous highlands.
The process of growth of the ocean floor due to magma flowing through cracks is called
spreading
Sometimes part of the platform foundation rises to the level of the platform or above these loose sediments due to tectonic movements. Such a structure of the platform is called
a shield.
