Earth spins 1000 mph taking 24 hours for one complete spin. 1/2 of earth is always illuminated (day) and 1/2 is dark (night)

This is 1/4 the size of the Earth

This involves a revolution around the earth which takes about one month. It follows a pattern and creates a waxing and Waning

This rises in the east and sets in the west and appears to move across the sky. Caused by earth's rotation.

When two plates dive away from each other and create ridges such as the Mid-Atlantic Ridge

When two plates slide past each other and nothing is created or destroyed such as the San Andreas Fault.

When two plates collide and oceanic subducts creating trenches, subduction zones, volcanoes or volcanic island arcs such as Himalayas and Mt. St. Helen

A single super continent with evidence from rocks, glaciers, fossils and jigsaw puzzle of continents

Convection in the mantle is the reason why the plates move.

When an oceanic plate recycles itself back into the earth. A trench is formed and a volcano is on the plate that did not subduct. There is a convergent boundary

Afred Wegener Theory in early 1900 about Pangaea

A deep long ditch opposite of ridge and above subduction zone
