All about tectonic plates!
1.Earth is broken up into 7 major tectonic plates. 2. The plates are always moving(slowly) and in different directions. 3.When the plates come together, mountains form on the boundaries. 4. When the plates shift at their boundaries, they get stuck and build up lots of energy, and that is released in as the form of an earthquake.FUN FACT: Japan is on/near lots of tectonic plates(on the boundary of 4!), and that’s why there are a lot of mountains, volcanoes, earthquakes, and tsunamis!
