Product Description   The earth has different layers. A solid inner core that is surrounded by a liquid outer core, the mantle, and the outer lithosphere. “Litho” means “stone” and that reminds us that this outer crust is stone. Some of that lithosphere is part of continents and is called the continental crust. Part of the lithosphere is under the oceans and is called the oceanic crust. This crust is made of separate plates that slide very, very, very slowly, over the mantle in a process scientists call continental drift. The study of these massive sections of stone is called plate tectonics from the ancient Greek, meaning “building”. The movement of these plates, crashing into each other has built mountains. The lines where they meet, called fault lines, can cause earthquakes and volcanoes!
