The Earth’s surface is broken into large pieces called tectonic plates. These plates slowly move over a hot, soft layer deep inside the Earth
. Although this movement is very slow, it has powerful effects on the Earth’s surface.
When plates collide, they can push the land upward and form mountains
, or cause strong earthquakes
. When plates move apart, hot magma rises from below and creates volcanoes
and new land
. When plates slide past each other, energy builds up and is suddenly released as earthquakes
.
Plate movement shapes continents and oceans
, creates valleys and hills
, and sometimes causes natural disasters like earthquakes and tsunamis
. These movements help keep the Earth active and constantly changing
.
