Earth has an outer layer made up of multiple rigid tectonic plates that continuously move and interact with each other in various ways. Newton’s Laws of Motion can all be observed in Earth’s tectonic activities. Variables involved in how the plates move can be determined using the equation F = ma from Newton’s ________Law. When one plate collides with another plate at rest, the first plate can slow down and cause the second plate to move, demonstrating Newton’s ________Law. When two plates slide sideways past each other at a transform boundary, this action can cause an earthquake of equal force, describing Newton’s ________Law.

To start a game of football, there must be a kickoff. This occurs when the football is kicked toward the other team. They will then receive the ball and run toward their goal line with the football in an attempt to score a touchdown.
Each of these five actions describes one of Newton’s three Laws of Motion:
The harder the player kicks the ball, the faster it will move.
The ball will remain in place until it is kicked.
The ball pushes against the foot of the player with the same force as the player's foot pushes the ball.
The ball stops moving when the opposing team catches it after the kickoff.
The player’s foot pushes against the ball with the same force as the ball pushing against the player’s foot
