This happens when the rock layers change shape. Faulting is when sections of the crust on earth move close to each other creating … Read more

We are seeing volcanoes erupting and earthquakes shaking the earth’s surface causing massive destruction, the causes is due to plate tectonics. The plate tectonic theory is the theory of the Earth’s outer shell is divided into several … Read more

It was discovered and developed in the early 20th century. The continents are combined to form a single supercontinent. In addition, the continents lay on slabs of rocks called tectonic plates. The term “plate” … Read more
