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

Scientists evidence that plates of the land are moving from earthquakes which is
a cause of the plates moving.

Animals and plants only found in one region were all around the world and
mountains continued together were separated.

Volcanoes, mountains, earthquakes, etc.

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


I only know one name and it is the Eurasian tectonic plate, I am not sure about
others.
Eurasian plate, Australian plate, Carrabian plate, Scotia plate, African plate,
Indian plate, Arabian plate, and South American plate.

3. What are some ways that tectonic plates can interact with each other?
I am not sure, but my best guess is that one way they interact is that they hit each
other and one plate pushes over the other causing an earthquake.
They can converge, diverge and, transform motion.
Also can subduct
4. How can landforms provide evidence for scientists to determine plate
boundaries?
I am not confident about the answer but I think they can see where the plates
crumbled and they can measure where the plates moved.
Volcanoes and oceans form around the plate creating the boundaries.
Also mountains and valleys no oceans
5. How does the theory of plate tectonics relate to mountains and volcanoes?
I have not learned this yet.
When plate tectonics crash they push upward created a mountain or volcano.
