next there is a layer called the outer core.

next is the crust.]]> 2017-08-01 00:11:15 UTC https://padlet.com/kateh5/uaywlxc6b28p/wish/179805824 How do volcanoes appear? kateh5 https://padlet.com/kateh5/uaywlxc6b28p/wish/179835747 The tectonic plates move away each other and the magma rises up to the surface and when it cooled down it became lava.

The mantle itself moves due to convection currents: hot rock rises, gives off some heat, then falls. This creates vast swirls of moving liquid rock under the crust of the earth, which jostles the plates of crust on top.]]> 2017-08-28 23:33:48 UTC https://padlet.com/kateh5/uaywlxc6b28p/wish/183264964 How often do the tectonic plates move? kateh5 https://padlet.com/kateh5/uaywlxc6b28p/wish/183265043 they move About 2 to 5 centimeters per year (1 to 2 inches per year), about the same speed that your fingernails grow.]]> 2017-08-28 23:34:34 UTC https://padlet.com/kateh5/uaywlxc6b28p/wish/183265043 Which is the fastest moving tectonic plate? kateh5 https://padlet.com/kateh5/uaywlxc6b28p/wish/183265152 The Cocos and Nazca plates (in the pacific ocean) are right now the quickest, moving at over 10 cm/yr.]]> 2017-08-28 23:35:37 UTC https://padlet.com/kateh5/uaywlxc6b28p/wish/183265152 Wanna know more?
