I have lived in the N. Georgia mountains for 16 yrs. I believe I see a change in the shape of the mountaintop ridge that faces me. If so, could this be the result of tectonic plate shifting? P. Alvarado

Where ever there is a mountain range, there is a tectonic plate, because mountains are formed by the upheaval of two tectonic plates crashing together. The change in the mountaintop ridge could be due to tectonic plate activity, or to normal erosion.
