==Key Stage 3==
===Meaning===
A '''tectonic plate''' is a large piece of the [[Earth]]'s [[crust]] floating on top of the [[mantle]].
===About Tectonic Plates===
: The [[Crust]] is split into several '''tectonic plates'''.
: '''Tectonic plates''' move around separately and and when they rub against each other this causes [[Earthquake]]s.
: If one '''tectonic plate''' moves on top of another the '''tectonic plate''' underneath starts to [[melt]] and [[magma]] rises up to make [[Volcano]]es.
