Introduction. The theory, or idea, of plate tectonics says that Earth ’s outer layer is made up of large, moving pieces called plates. All of Earth’s land and water sit on these plates. The plates are made of solid rock. Under the plates is a weaker layer of partially melted rock.
Tectonic plates, vast and thick sections of the Earth’s crust and uppermost mantle, resemble pieces of an enormous jigsaw puzzle that envelopes our planet. Despite their sluggish mobility, equivalent to the growth pace of a human fingernail, these plates can trigger earthquakes.
In this video we will explain plate tectonics for kids! Together we will learn about the two main types of tectonic plates, Oceanic and Continental.
Plate tectonics is a theory of geology.The plates move using three types of movements.They are: convergent, divergent and transform movement.
Learn what tectonic plates and why they move. Tectonic plates form boundaries that can be convergent, divergent or transform. Our video shows all 3 types. Watch now.
Kids learn about the Earth science subject of plate tectonics including major and minor plates, convergent, divergent, and transform boundaries.
