                The Tectonic plate


The tectonic plate are the large pieces of rock. It’s make up the outside surface of the earth. The Alfred Wagner found that when he was came up with the theory Continental shift. There were four layer in the earth that made up planet. It like Crust, Mantle, Outer Core, and Inner Core. The crust outer layer that we live on that is made up of plates. (Ocean or Continent). The mantle is a very thick and it’s made up of molten rock is like a liquid. It is made up of the crust with convection currents. The outer core is made up of melted metal (iron and nickel). And Inner core is solid and it’s made up nickel and iron as well.  
There were also the three types of plate boundaries that related to the theory of plate tectonic. The convergent, divergent and the transform boundaries. The convergent is coming together, Divergent are separating and transform is move sliding pass each other.
Fault is connected to plate tectonic. Fault also have three types: Normal, Reverse, and Strike Slid.
  The normal is the movement of going down, reverse going to up, and the strike slid is the movement of slide passing.

I was doing this project, I enjoyed most of the part. The research was interesting but I never knew that earth’s reasons. The project was little bit difficult because some of word I never heard. The challenging part was to get information it in my own word to present to the teacher. I learned working more on PowerPoint and making fordable.  I don’t really have nothing to change about the tectonics plate’s project. The important thing everybody should know in the world, why this things happen us.
