tectonic plates
what did the plates do to separate the continents
they all drifted on the plastic like layer of the mantle
what are the three ways
convergent diver gent and transform
what are earths spheres
geosphere biosphere atmosphere and hydrosphere
what are earths layers
crust mantle outer core inner core
what is the biggest plate
The Pacific plate
how do the plates move
convergent: is when they touch but they go down and in divergent: is when they go up and out and transform: is when they go side tide but then forward and backward
what is the hydrosphere
water
what is the outermost layer
crust
what is the smallest plate
the Scotia plate
does convergent have volcanic activity
yes
what is the geosphere
land
what is the innermost layer
inner core
name all the major plates
Pacific, North American, Eurasian, African, Antarctic, Indo-Australian, and the South American Plate
does divergent have volcanic activity
yes
what is the biosphere
living things
what is the thickest layer
mantle
name all the minor plates

does transform have volcanic activity
no
what is the atmosphere
wind
what is the outer core made of
