The earth’s crust is composed of solid core, mantle (consists of molten magma) and tectonic plates. Tectonic plates are constantly moving due to convection currents triggered by molten lava inside the earth’s crust. This constant movement leads to either the plates sliding against each other or drifting away from each other. These interactions and drifting apart of tectonic plates underneath the earth are perceived by living organisms, humans included.
