    The Earth's crust is made up of major sections called tectonic plates that float on the mantle and slowly move around, occasionally colliding and causing volcanoes and earthquakes at their boundaries. There are several large tectonic plates, like the North American, Eurasian, African and Indo-Australian plates, as well as smaller plates like the Juan de Fuca, Caribbean, and Scotia plates that fit together at their edges.

    The Earth’s crust is composed of many different sections called… tectonic plates.

    Tectonic plates are like big rafts that float on... the mantle and move around.

    Most of the plates are moving… very slowly (a few cm a year).

    Volcanoes and earthquakes… often happen where two tectonic plates meet.

    When the tectonic plates move suddenly… it causes an earthquake.
