The outermost layer is called the crust. This is where we live. Earth's layers The outermost layer is called the crust. This is where we live.

The crust is broken up into chunks called plates

The movement of plates Three Main Types 1. Convergent 2. Divergent 3. Transform

two or more plates collide (come together) Convergent two or more plates collide (come together) Type of landform made by convergent boundary: Mountain https://youtu.be/ngV66m00UvU

two or more plates moving away (dividing) Divergent two or more plates moving away (dividing) Type of landform made by divergent boundary: Rift Valley Bonus: Mid ocean ridge

two or more plates slide past Transform two or more plates slide past Type of landform made by convergent boundary: Doesn't really affect it https://youtu.be/ngV66m00UvU
