An earth plate is a type of civil engineering structure used as a grounding system. It typically consists of a metal plate buried in the ground to provide a low-resistance path for electrical currents, helping to dissipate electrical faults and protect equipment from damage. The earth plate is connected to electrical systems to safely reroute excess currents into the ground.

How does the movement of plates result in mountains volcanoes and earthquakes?
