Open to everyone until Friday, October 2
To keep it, print it while it is open.
Earth’s outer shell is broken into huge pieces called plates. These pieces move slowly, carrying continents, and over millions of years they split one ancient supercontinent into the continents we know today.
In the picture
- Jigsaw-shaped crust slab: a moving piece of Earth’s outer shell
- Dotted trail in the ocean: the path a slab has traveled away from another
- Large central green landmass: the ancient supercontinent before it broke apart
Examples
- A cracked chocolate bar whose pieces slide apart on a table.
- Icebergs drifting away from each other in cold sea.
Key takeaways
- Earth’s crust is broken into moving plates.
- Continents have drifted apart over millions of years.
