| rdfs:comment | - A Tectonic plate is a part of a planet's crust, they float on the mantle and are moved by convection currents. The movement of tectonic plates causes the formation of mountains and ocean trenches is responsible for volcanic activity and earthquakes. In 2370 when Odo was observing a group of twenty Horta he thought they looked rather like a museum diorama of tectonic plate activity. (DS9 novel: Devil in the Sky)
- In seismology, a tectonic plate is a part of a planet's crust. Tectonic plates are most famous for their part in earthquakes. When tectonic plates rub against each other on a fault, an earthquake is caused. Earthquakes are extreme planetary vibrations that can disrupt all activity on a world. Tectonic plates are also instrumental in the formation of mountains, when two plates move together the ground is shifted upward and peaks. Tectonic plates could be manipulated in various ways for different outcomes.
- Tectonic plates are very large, fairly flat, and probably heavy pieces of mostly rock and vinegar that float on a layer above the mantle and below the crust called Detroit. They are able to hold a larger portion of food than regular plates. A Google search for the alliterative 'platonic plates' finds over one hundred references to their grinding and shifting, with no idea what they have to do with the Greek philosopher.
- Tectonic plates move around because of convection currents in part of the deep interior of the earth that's called the mantle. When tectonic plates collide or are drawn apart, they form boundaries, which can be rift valleys or mountains or ridges at the bottoms of oceans. Tectonic plates can also cause earthquakes when they slip past each other. Over millions and hundreds of millions of years areas which were very close together can become thousands of miles or kilometres apart. Similarly areas which were thousands of kilometres apart can move close together.

Despite what some crazy or misinformed people say the Earth is four thousand million years old and tectonic plates have been moving round most of that time.
