Plates tectonics


Do you know what plates tectonics are?



Plates tectonics are a scientific theory describing the large scale  motion of earth's lithosphere, also they occured underground and under water, they have 3 different movements:

Conservative: Two plates move against each other, they move at the same direction but at different speeds, in a moment the two plates get stuck and  the magma that is underground race to the top because of the presure and it can cause volcanic eruptions.














Destructive: Two plates are moving towards each other, one of the plates, usually te oceanic, sinks below the other, when the oceanic plate touch the magma, the plate strart to burn and when it goes up to the surface it cause volcanic eruptions or mountain ranges.







constructive: Two plates are moving apart from each other, the magma that is underground goes up because of the presure and that can cause earthquakes, tsunamis and volcanoes.





My conclusion is that this 3 types of movements are very interesting because they move in different ways but they cause almost the same thing (volcanoes, tsunamis, mountain ranges and earthquakes).
