Inner Core- Outer Core- Mantle- Crust-

The Earth’s Biosphere Atmosphere- Lithosphere- Hydrosphere- Biosphere-

Plate Tectonics The surface of the earth is constantly changing due to plate tectonics and erosion and weathering.

Volcanoes Earthquakes and volcanoes can occur anywhere on the surface of the earth, including underwater, but they are more common at plate boundaries.

New Sea Floor

Volcanoes Sometimes volcanoes occur far from plate boundaries. These areas are called hot spots. A good example of a hot spot is the formation of the Hawaiian Islands in the middle of the Pacific.

Volcanoes There is an area around the Pacific Ocean where many plates come together known as The Ring of Fire. This area has many active and dormant volcanoes and volcanic eruptions are frequent.
