1. Plate Tectonics

2. The Earth is made up of several layers:
Inner Core
Outer Core
Mantle
Crust

3. Convection occurs a circular motion caused by heating and cooling
This is the process that causes the plates to move

4. Formation of Continents
The Earth is divided into “tectonic plates” that seemingly float on the Earth’s mantle
The continents are parts of the Earth’s crust that extend higher than sea level (0 elevation)
The continents are where they are today because of convection

6. X

7. When Worlds Collide The plates act on one another all the time
Convection moves them
Tectonic plate movement causes the following recognizable formations
Mountains, trenches, volcanoes, rifts

10. Other Results At plate boundaries, other things are likely to happen:
Earthquakes (strike-slip)
Volcanic eruptions (convergent)
Volcanic eruptions can happen anywhere the Earth’s crust is thin and there’s pressure underneath
Ring of Fire
