Plate Tectonics is when a piece of land separate. Which is Pangaea.In many years ago, the world is like a piece of land together. But now they are separate.
I agree the theory of plate tectonics, because this is real, and this is what cause different continents. As evidence the earth right still slowly moving. And it will be forever. As long as the mantle underneath the Earth's crust gets heated and convection currents in the magma keeps dragging the plates.
In my opinion, I think plate tectonics is cool and powerful, because how can a piece of land can moving forever,and they are not alive.
Reflection
1.the part I enjoy the most is video part. Because is the fast and easy way to finish a video.
2.the part I challenging the most is Brainpop video about volcanoes. Because I not really understand the video.
3.New skill I learn from this project is animoto. Because this website is easy to make a video.
4.if I do this project again I will improve to done works faster. Because the video part I finish at home.
5.I think I don't need to change about this project. Because the project is not too hard or too easy.

Photographic Evidence
Convergent boundary is when two plates come together. There is a example of convergent boundary, mountains. Mountains is create it when two continental come together then push up.
Subduction Zone is when two plates come together, but the dense one go under the light one. The examples of subduction zone are Trench and Volcanic Arc. Trench is the line in the ocean between two plates. Volcanic Arc is many volcanoes next to each other.
Divergent boundary is when two plates move different direction. Two examples cause by divergent boundary are Rift Valley and Mid-ocean Ridge. Rift Valley is continental plate broke apart. Mid-ocean Ridge is a series of mountain ranges on the ocean floor.
Fault zone is a break in the surface of the Earth where one side of the brake is pushed up against the other. it also call fault line.
Hot spot is the weak part of the crust.
Transform boundary is when two plates slide each other. Like earthquake and tsunami. earthquake is when land broke apart. tsunami is earthquake under ocean, which can push up water wave and carry a lot of energy and water go long distance.
Ring of fire is an area that have a lot of volcanoes and earthquake happen for example around pacific ocean.
