    Scientists have evidence that plates are moving based on hotspots, islands moving over time, and patterns of earthquakes. Major plates include the Pacific, North American, Philippine, and continental plates. Plates can interact at divergent boundaries where plates spread apart, convergent boundaries where one plate moves under another causing phenomena like earthquakes and volcanoes, and transform boundaries where plates slide past each other. Landforms provide evidence of plate boundaries, as mountain ranges often occur at plate boundaries due to plate convergence. The theory of plate tectonics explains the relationship between volcanoes and mountains, as volcanoes tend to occur near plate boundaries in subduction zones.

    1. What evidence do scientists have that large plates of land are moving?

    Sientists have evendens that plats are mooving becus of eth cwacs and mawtens

    -(Now I learned hotspots, islands moving, and earthquakes are evidence of plates
    moving. )

    2. What are some names of the major plates of land?

    -(I have no ideu->


    -(sum are pisifec, north west, philipens, and contenentl)->

    3. What are some ways that tectonic plates can interact with each other?

    -sum of the was are mawtens->


    -(unuter thing I lernd is divergent, convergent, and constructive boundaries

    4. How can land forms provide evidence for scientists to determine plate boundaries?

    - we can detemen plat bawderes by war mawtens are )->

    -(g)->
    lland foms are gust cloos

    5. How does the theory of plate tectonics relate to mountains and volcanoes?

    -(know ideur)->
    -(change of thinking)->

    Valcanos are clos to sub zons
