What are lithospheric plates and their relationship with volcanic activity?

What is that movement? What does it produce?

Tectonic plates or lithospheric plates are the different fragments into which the Earth's lithosphere is
divided, that is, the most superficial layer of the planet, which includes the crust and the upper part of
the Earth's mantle. Seismic, volcanic and orogenic activity is concentrated on its edges.

Geological activity comes from the interaction of plates when they approach or separate.

Plate movement creates three types of tectonic boundaries: convergent boundaries, where plates
move closer to each other, divergent boundaries, where they move apart, and transform boundaries,
where plates move sideways relative to each other.

Convergent: they get closer to each other. The plates on the outside or on top cause the creation of
large folds, such as mountain ranges. When magma comes to the surface, volcanoes form. It can
also cause earthquakes.

Divergent: The plates separate, causing the plates to separate or expand. Magma can seep to the
surface, and when it cools it can form islands or oceanic ridges of volcanic origin.

Transformant: The plates move, this occurs when the plates move in the same plane, but in different
directions. Faults are areas of contact between plates with this movement where crust is neither
created nor destroyed.

What are tides? How do they happen?

Tides are periodic changes in sea level that are produced by the gravitational
forces of attraction of the Sun and the Moon with respect to the Earth. This
phenomenon involves the movement of enormous masses of water across the
surface of our planet, as they are attracted by the stars that surround us.

The origin of the tides occurs in the interior of the oceans, extending their effect
towards the coastal coastlines of the entire Earth and giving rise to the rises and
falls of the sea.

Consequently, tides are a continuous ebb and flow of water that constantly arrives
and leaves coastal shorelines. Throughout the day there are 2 high tides and 2
low tides, therefore, two flows of water to the coast and two ebbs of water into
the sea.

Therefore, the ebb and flow of water is the main driver of tides.

Why do we have seasons on earth?

The movement of the Earth around the Sun, known as translation, gives rise to what are called
seasons of the year and the climatic seasons associated with them.

Although the best-known movements of the planet Earth are translation (around the Sun) and rotation
(around itself), there are other movements it makes and, of all of them, one is responsible for the
existence of the seasons of the year. This movement is what the Earth's axis makes with respect to
the orbit around the Sun. Although we do not perceive it, the Earth's axis is only perfectly
perpendicular to the Sun during the spring and autumn equinoxes (when day and night are equally
long). The rest of the year, the axis is tilted, reaching its maximum tilt on the days of the summer and
winter solstice (the longest or shortest day and night of the year respectively). This is because the
axis is in constant motion in which, when it reaches its end (one of the solstices) it returns to its
position perpendicular to the orbit (equinoxes). You will then repeat the same tilt, but in the opposite
hemisphere.
