WE’RE GONNA CRASH!
Slabs of the Earth’s crust are always moving. Sloooowly, but moving, nonetheless. Eighth grade, having learned that there are several layers of the Earth, are also learning that the crust, or lithosphere, is floating on molten rock (magma). The continents are like boxes on a supermarket’s conveyor belt, carried along. Some of these conveyor belts will lead to collisions; others will separate. Others may travel alongside each other in different directions. When this happens with rock, mountains or new land can form. So can natural disasters.
