Tectonic plates are large pieces of the Earth's crust that slowly move over time. There are three types of plate tectonic boundaries: divergent boundaries where plates move apart, convergent boundaries where they push together often forming mountains, and transform boundaries where they slide past each other which can cause earthquakes.

2. What are tectonic plates?
Tectonic plates are a series of large pieces of soil or ground (like a giant
jigsaw puzzle) which are in constant motion travelling at a few
centimeters per year. There are 3 types of Tectonic Plates.

This movement separates one plate from another. Africa separated from
South America because of this movement.

4. When two tectonic plates clash against each other. Mountain ranges are formed
due to this movement.
