• Geology

• Geosphere

• Biology

Parts of the Earth that are moving constantly

• Tectonic Plates

• Earthquakes

• Geosphere

The tectonic plates...

• are parts of the Earth

• are constantly moving very slowly

• the motion make changes in the continente position

According to the Tectonic Plate Theory...

• Earth's crust is floating on magma

• The continents were joined together, and they they separated

• Earth's crust is cover by rocks.

• The continents were separated, and they the joined together.

____ are when the tectonics plates are separated.
