Tectonic Plates
Understand that Earth's crust is broken into large pieces called tectonic plates that float on hotter, softer rock beneath and move very slowly — a few centimetres per year
Typical age: 9–11 years
“If you showed your child a map of the tectonic plates, could they explain that Earth's surface is cracked into huge pieces that move very slowly — about as fast as their fingernails grow?”
