Richter Scale
How do convergent boundary plates move?
The come together
What plate boundary causes an earthquake?

Does a mountain happen quickly or slowly?
Slowly, takes millions of years to form
The magma dries, adds to the mound of rock and eventually forms land
How many earthquakes do we have a day?
