What nature disasters are most likely to acre do to tectonic plates?
Tsunami, earthquakes, and volcanos
What do continent-continent convergent boundaries create?
mountains

Whos that pokemon?
Ditto

DESCRIBE how plate tectonics move.
The heat in the mantle rises, pushes up against the crust, then the cool air goes down.
This creates a current and pushes plates to move.
What do ocean-ocean convergent boundaries create?
islands and volcanos

What was Pangea and why does it no longer exist? BONUS: What vocabulary word describes this phenomena?
The motion of tectonic plates moves continents at a very slow rate (about 1-10 cm per year) in large sections. These sections move land masses to new locations and broke apart the supercontinent Pangea. This phenomena is called continental drift.
