Explanations

Draft

Plate tectonics explains how Earth's crust is divided into large plates that constantly move. These movements create mountains, cause earthquakes, and trigger volcanoes – it's the driving force behind how our planet continuously reshapes itself. Understanding how these plates shift shows how everything on Earth is connected, similar to how climate and weather work together as one big system.
