• Crust

• Land

• Mantle

• Cores

• Water

Q.3 Why does the plates move?

• Because it is hungry.

• Because it feels ticklish & the mantle is hot.

• Because they don't like humans & animals

• Because of convection currents in the mantle

What are plates?

• 1.

  Pieces of the Crust together with the upper part of the mantle are known as plates.

  2.

  Seven major plates and several smaller plates have been identified.

• a flat dish, typically circular and made of china, from which food is eaten or served.

• dishes, bowls, cups, and other utensils made of gold, silver, or other metal.

• serve or arrange (food) on a plate or plates.

Why do plates move?

• Scientists think that plates move because of convection currents in the mantle. The movement of these currents is similar to the movement of convection currents in a beaker of boiling water.

• They are floating on Earth's mantle, a really thick layer of hot flowing rock.

• Noun. A thin, flat sheet of metal or other material, especially one used as an electrode in a storage battery or capacitor, or as the anode of an electron tube. In plate tectonics, one of the sections of the Earth's lithosphere (crust and upper mantle) is in constant motion along with other sections.

• When people refer to a plate or one plate in weightlifting, they're usually talking about one 45-pound Olympic weight plate. ... Plus 45-pounds (which is how heavy the barbell weighs) gives you a total of 315 pounds. Four plates usually means 405, and five plates usually means 495-pounds.

What is Subduction?

• The process by which a plate is pushed downward.

• Subduction is whatever.

• The Mantle is hot.

• Beneath another plate into the underlying mantle.

What is Faulting?

• The process by which rocks break and move or are displaced along the fracture

• The process by which rocks and fishes

• The process of swimming in the mantle

• The process by which rocks break and move or Smile
