What are plate tectonics?
In the past, there was the idea of a supercontinent.

The shape of a volcano depends on how that volcano erupts?
True
False
An earthquake magnitude is the amount of energy that it release.
True
False
You can feel earthquakes that measure 2.0 on Richter Scale.
False
True
Earthquakes that measure 6.0 or more on the Richter scale are not destructive.
False
True
Why the Himalaya is growing:
The Himalaya is growing today.
The Indoa-Astralian Plate pushes against the Eurasian Plate, forcing the crust at the edge of the plates to fold a bend.
The Eurasian Plate is forcing the Indo-Australian Plate.
