Bill Nye The Science Guy!



  • The surface of the earth is floating on magma. 
  • The earths surface is flexible. 
  • When the surface is stretched a lot you get a earthquake.
  • Lava comes out for the same kind of rock which we see but it's under the earths surface and lava makes it hot and you can rip brake easily inside.
  • The earths surface is on top of the lava(magma).
  • Heat makes the plates move.
  • When plates scratch or touch each other they create mountains.
  • Lava comes out of some kind of liquid and then it freezes.
  • Epicenter is a the point on the Earth's surface directly above the focus of an earthquake

    3 types of boundaries

    1. Convergent boundaries(compression)
    2. Divergent boundaries(tension)
    3. Transform boundaries(shearing)
