In one of our novice activities, we demonstrate to children that Scientists know where Plate Tectonic Boundaries are found. This discovery was made by plotting and viewing a global map of earthqua…

The movement of the plates, is a combination of seafloor spreading, topographical variations, as well as the variations in the density of the crust. The tectonic plates are composed of both the denser oceanic lithosphere and the thicker continental lithospheric crust.

The number varies from a dozen to almost 100 — and most of these don't even appear on official maps.

New models that show how the continents were assembled are providing fresh insights into the history of the Earth and will help provide a better understanding of natural hazards like earthquakes and volcanoes.
