What have you learned ?

Tell me what you now know about plate tectonics? What are some interesting facts that you have learned the theory of plate tectonics?

Earth's outer shell is divided into several plates that glide

DRew Williams said...

there is a lot of them.

They cause earthquakes and other things. When they cause a Tsunami the ocean floor will crack.

All i know is that they have something about earth quakes

Anthony Esposito said...

They pull apart and when they come back together and rub against each other on a fault line that is what causes an earthquake. They can also cause a tsunami if the ocean floor cracks.

Tayte said...

There are a lot more than I thought. I didn't know that they moved.

Nicole said...

Earths outer core is divided into several plates call tectonic plates they cause earthquakes and Tsunami but when they cause a Tsunami the ocean floor will crack in the center of the ocean floor.

Kiley said...

There is a lot of them and some of them can cause to Earth quakes.

This is what I know about plate tectonics. Plate tectonics are plates that are part of the earth's crust. Also this scientist named Alfred Wegener thought that plate tectonics was the cause of continental drift witch is true.

Brandon M said...

What i know about plate tectonics is that their are 18 major plates in the world. When two plates rub together in the other way from the other one makes a reverse fault. Plate tectonics have a huge part in the continental drift theory. Plate tectonics help seafloor spreding help.

Plate Tectonics are plates underneath the Earth's surface and moves the surface of the Earth.

Plate Tectonics are plates underneath the crust of the Earth that move as fast as fingernails grow.Plate Tectonics had moved the continents to there original position today.They can also cause Volcanoes and Earthquakes.

Plate tectonics are the earths outer shell that is divided into several plates that move and glide. Plate tectonics can cause earthquakes.

Plates tectonics are in the earth and they make the earth have earthquakes and they make volcano erupt.i learned that they can be in the ocean.

KIWI aka Brianna M.:) said...

I have learned that there are three types of plate tectonic boundaries: convergent, transform, and divergent. Plate tectonics is the reason why we have volcanoes and earthquakes. There are at least 16 tectonic plates that are underneath the surface of the Earth. The plates grind, colllide, and pull against each other, thus creating rising currents.

I know that they move continents.And they create earth qaukes.

jada f said...

idk

Daniel.B said...

They are thing that move under ground and when they move so much it will make a earthquake

That alfred wegener didn't invent the idea of plate tectonics.

Caelen Merrill said...

Plate Tectonics are involved in the theory that the Earth's outer shell is divided into plates.

i dont know anything except that it causes earthqwakes

Kyle G said...

Thay move con conteno
ntes and they cause earth quakes

Emily said...

I know that they move continents.

Lauren Pride said...

I know that they move over time and there is a lot of them and that they are under the earth.

plate tectonics are the cause of earthquakes

Gabe L said...

i've learned that plate techtonics have slowly moved earth over the millions of years earth has existed

Anonymous said...

they make earthquakes and mountains

Jordan T said...

I don't know much but i know there are a lot of them.

Breanna c said...

I don't really know very much about plate techtonichs but I do know that that they are the cause of earthquakes and that they dont fully touch.

Lily G. said...

Plate Techtonics have moved Earth very slowly over many years. They cause Earth Quakes, Mountains and others.

morrison doucette said...

well i know that they use satellite and with the satellite they can tell when or were the continents move and what year.

jada f said...

plantes collide,pull apart and grined

Abigail N said...

The tectonic plates are the cause of a thin layer of rock. Tectonic plates cause earthquakes and it alson causes mountains and volcanos to form.

Katelyn Piche said...

Plate tectonics are plates underground in earth. They can create earthquakes and volcanoes. They also are a big part of how the continents got to the places they are today.

shawn Rebel said...

plate tectontic is the plates and when they hit earthquakes happen.

Anonymous said...

plate tectonics can cause earth qwakes and mutch more and it moves the contrys

Jasmine L. said...

I know that plate tectonics are under the earth h, and that they can sometimes create mountains, and volcanos. I don't have any interesting facts.

Lily r said...

I know that plate tectonics are the underground rock plates that are constantly shifting and causing earthquakes.

Abby D (2fab4u) said...

That they are like a shifting, giant, magical puzzle! And, they push together, making giant mountions! Like mnt everest, also... Did you know mnt everest grows about a inch every year?

kolby o said...

they create earthquakes

McKenzie Bubar said...

that is was 30 to 60 miles thick and 6000 miles wide. the youngest rock is actually is in the center of the ocean.
Alfred Wegener was the first person to find out plate tectonics.

Brian Wakem said...

Plate tectonics are what cause the earth to have freak muscle spasm called earth quakes.

Bradyn Neundorfer said...

I know that they can cause earthquakes

Anonymous said...

plate tectonics that are moving or sliding under ground force. Plate tectonics can make Earthquakes.

anthony said...

I know nothing about plate tectonics. But I know that they move and break stuff. I guess I do know something about plate tectonics. I know you thought me stuff about them but I forgot, Sorry. ;(

Nikki Newcomb said...

I have learned that plate tectonics control if earthquakes happen and it can cause volcanoes to form

Anonymous said...

Plate techtonics are amazing but dangerous they hold are earth together if they crash earth qauke

I learned that there are three different ways plates CAn INTERaCT wITH eACHOTher

I know some interesting things about plate tectonics and one of those things are that scientists believe that the earths core heats up stone while forcing it to the surface. While this is happening the earths crust is being forced apart. When plates have a head on collision mountains are created. When the crust cools it withdraws back into the earth bringing plant matter with it. This plant matter heats up creating magma which then leads to volcanos. Volcanos the erupt creating islands. I also know that earthquakes are created when tension is released through tectonic plates. When the tension is released the crust snaps creating an earthquake. Earthquakes lead to tsunamis and tsunamis lead to the destruction of cities. Now i'm just of topic back to plate tectonics. Plate tectonics are what moves the continents. Soon the continents will come back together creating a new super continent. Then we will all most likely die. This is all I know about plate tectonics.

Anthony said...

I also know that I spelt tout wrong(I spelt it as thought). Sorry to all the English teachers but I will spell I right now... tout. There you go...

Ryan R said...

When the plates hit each other one goes under creating earthquakes sometimes creating volcanos plates move slowly. Alfred Wangnar came up with continental drift and whats his face discovered seafloor spreading

Anthony said...

I spelt it wrong agen!!!!! All of the English teachers are probably looking at this and being like "he needs a dictionary." I know I do now I will spell it right agen... taught.

Anthony Mason said...

Now I spelt again wrong sorry. I spelt it right up there so I will not re spell it down here. Please get a dictionary. (Just kidding.)

Anthony said...

Over there sorry. I mess up a lot.

Tristin R said...

Plate tectonics is the outer layer of the Earth. Plates move when hot rock rise and hot air come up and then plate tectonics move.

Some interesting things that I learned about plate tectonics were how the faults under the oceans are spreading apart by magma. And also how all the continents in the world were once joined together and was called Pangea.

They make earthquakes.

I know that Plate Tectonics more very slowly and can make houses roads and more Get React and they can make huge holes in the ground there very dangerous.

I know that they are the crust of the earth.

Andrew Iverson said...

There is a bunch of plates in the world like the Eurasian plate.

Anonymous said...

I know that plate tectonics cause the continents to slowly shift, and also play into volcanoes and earthquakes.
