Plate Tectonics is the process of movement in Earth that happens in oceanic and continental crust. Plate Tectonics caused by the subduction zone that is when the oceanic crust goes underneath the continental crust because oceanic is more dense that continental crust.

1st evidence to prove the tectonic plates: Continental Drift; 225 million years ago all the continents on Earth were together that is called Pangea, but by the time the continents started to separate because of the movement of tectonic plates. Present day all the countries have their own tectonic plates. Also, in this time we still have plates that are moving and getting separated.
2nd evidence to prove the tectonic plates: Plate boundary; when the tectonic plates move, it creates different kind of plate boundary. 1. Convergent Boundary when two plates come toward each other that creates different kind of mountains. 2. Divergent Boundary when two plates move in different direction that creates Rift Valley and Mid Ocean Ridge. 3. Transform Boundary when two plates move side by side that creates Earthquake on continental crust and Tsunami on oceanic crust.
3rd evidence to prove the tectonic plates: Convection Current; Outer core is really hot that makes the mantle go up and when it reaches up to the crust it goes back down again because of the cold in crust. Also, mantle drag along tectonic plates on Earth. This process of repeating again and again that called convection current. When convection current happen it makes the plates move little by little that we can't really feel it.
I agree with the theory of plate tectonics because all of these evidence show me that this theory is true and there is more of the evidence that happen in reality like Earthquake, Tsunami show me this theory is true. To find these theories scientist did a lot of work even when it was really difficult.
Reflection:
1. What did you enjoy most about this project and why?
- The most thing I enjoyed about this project is to make different experiments and different kind of layers (Foldable, BrainPop), because it was really interesting to know and make.

2. What was most challenging for you during this project and why?
- The most challenging part was writing paragraphs and getting good, clear and right answers. Also, memorizing the layers to get tested from Ms. Kara.
3. What new skills you learn from this project and why?
- I learned how to write a good summary from videos, brainpop or activity.
4. Is there anything you could have done to improve any of your work? Explain.
- I would change some of my layer to another. For ex: I would change my foldable to video, except doing a fordable, I would do video.
5. What would you change about this project?
- I would do things that I never did before like music video, and I would make my layers more creative.
