5
Facts about continental drift.
The seafloor is spreading
the mantle is hard and solid
weathering and erosion
Earth's surface is SLOWLY and constantly moving.

What causes mountain ranges for form?
the collision of tectonic plates
the tides in the oceans
earthquakes
the formation of continents

Where are tectonic plates located?
outer core
surface
lithosphere
mesosphere
