The document discusses various aspects of tectonic plates and earthquakes including:
1. Tectonic plates are made of iron and nickel and consist of both solid and liquid parts.
2. Continental and oceanic crusts have different compositions and oceanic crust features underwater mountains and valleys.
3. Plate tectonics and earthquakes are caused by the movement and shifting of tectonic plates within the Earth's crust and mantle.
4. Earthquakes are measured using seismographs and their magnitude is determined based on the amount of energy released.
