What is compression in plate tectonics?
it is the movement of the earths crust. it moves inwards towards other plates so the earths crust moves upwards therefore forming mountains, volcanoes etc
What word means a Break in earths crust where rocks can slide past each other?

What is a fault the science kind?
crack in earths crust where two plates are sliding past each other
What help create volcanoes?

majority of valcanoes follow the edges of the tectonic plates, which are the weaker parts of earths crust, therefore volcanoes form durin the crust giving away to the pressure built up. other volcaoes form other places due to weak parts of earths crust
How was magnetite formed?
As the volcanic ash trembled and settled from Earths rocky layers from the crust, electrons start to mix in atoms created by friction. This led to the ability of magnetism to stick to other pieces of this fascinating mineral.
