The plates float on top of a liquid rock just below the earth's crust. :)

Tectonic plates.
The earths crust
The tectonic plates.
Simple- Convection in the mantle causes mantle to slowly move, and it pushes against the crust. As it does this, the tectonic plates move.
they move in all sorts of ways like the bottom and the top lol :}
The earths crust is split into large pieces called plates. When they move they cause a earthquake.
Constructive because new land is 'constructed'
Japan is sitting on 2 plates that are below the earths crust. The plates move causing earth quakes when they rub
The movement of the Earth's plates is known as plate tectonics. Geologists think the plates move due to a build up of extreme heat in the Earth's crust.
Faults, and plate rupture.
