-plates are mapped out by earthquake epicenters.

- Mantle convection drives seafloor spreading
Plates move like a conveyor belt

- Plate tectonics explains why geological activities such as mountain ranges, volcanoes, and earthquakes are where they are

• plate: Portion of Earth’s lithosphere that can maneuver around on the planet’s surface.
• seismometer: appliances that measures seismic waves and other ground motions.
• convection cell: heated material rises and cold material sinks in a pattern of a circle.
• seafloor spreading: system for moving continents. The forming of new seafloor at spreading ridges
pushes lithospheric plates on the surface of the earth.
• plate boundary: where two plates come together.
