They only move a tiny bit in maybe 1000 years but when they move they create ridges or mountains

The movement of plate tectonics affect the Earth's surface and landscape. For example, when two plates collide, they form mountain ranges as they form plate boundaries (divergent, convergent, transform boundaries). Volcanoes are also formed this way, when two tectonic plates form a boundary that allows magma to rise to the surface.
