Plate Tectonics

   A long time ago, meteors crashed down on the planet. After a long period of time, the planet cooled down and water started forming. Then, plates formed to make geological features. Plate Tectonics are a theory of lithospheric plates. Which move on the plastic asthenosphere independently to collide, slide under, or move past each other. These move only 1 cm per year! Convergent boundaries happen when two plates collide together. This can sometimes form a subduction. Another kind of boundary is called the Divergent boundary. This can make volcanic islands. The active boundaries are called the Mid-Ocean Ridges. Which are formed by plate tectonics, are the longest mountain chain in the world. The Ring of Fire is one of the area that includes plate tectonics. One of them is located in island chains from New Guinea to New Zealand. Plate tectonics happen on the different layers of Earth too. The Layers are the crust, the mantle, the outer core and the inner core. All of these make up part of the Earth, the California's major geological features. These features include the San Andrea's Fault, Soda Lake, Carrizo Plain, and the Wallace Creek. The planet that we live on is very complicated and neat.
