10 Tectonic plates

TECTONIC PLATES WHAT ARE PLATES? Tectonic plates are like huge jigsaw pieces that make up the Earth's crust. They move very slowly, and when they meet they can cause volcanic eruptions and earthquakes.

构造板块板块是什么？ 构造板块就像巨大的拼图，组成了地壳。 它们移动非常缓慢，当它们相遇时，会引起火山爆发和地震。 北美板块，太平洋板块，纳斯卡板块，南美板块，非洲板块，欧亚板块，南极板块

AUSTRALIAN PLATE PACIFIC PLATE PLATE BOUNDARIES The areas where two tectonic plates meet are called plate boundaries. There are three main types of plate boundaries: divergent, transform, and convergent. DIVERGENT BOUNDARY At divergent boundaries, plates move apart, pushed by hot rock from below. TRANSFORM BOUNDARY At transform boundaries, two plates scrape past each other. CONVERGENT BOUNDARY At convergent boundaries, plates crash into each other, causing one to move under the other.
