Continental drift
Tectonic plates and fault lines created by the movement of tectonic plates.
Sea floor spreading occurs at mid-ocean ridges where magma rises to create new oceanic crust. As the crust forms, it pushes the existing plates on either side away from the ridge, causing the plates to move. This process helps explain the movement of tectonic plates and how they interact with each other on Earth's surface.
The crustal movement of the plates in the earth are not completely understood by scientist and considered a phenomenon. It is an accepted theory that the strength of the water in contrast to the weakness of the land make the movement of the plates.
Earthquakes
Tectonic plates.
Science tries to explain the world. Many scientists study the movement of tectonic plates that cause earthquakes.

Movement of the tectonic plates.
A tectonic earthquake is a sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust caused by the movement of tectonic plates. These earthquakes occur at plate boundaries where plates are colliding, sliding past one another, or moving apart. The stress built up from the movement of plates is released in the form of seismic waves, causing the ground to shake.
there are 7 huge plates but dozens of smaller plates
