Imagine the Earth’s surface is like a big puzzle made of giant pieces called plates. These plates move slowly, and when they push against each other, they lift up parts of the ground to form mountains. It's like when you press two hands together and make a hill in between them.
Examples
- When you push your hands together, it's like tectonic plates creating mountains.
- Crumpling up a piece of paper makes hills, just like mountains are formed by crumpled-up Earth crust.
- The Himalayas were made when two giant pieces of the Earth bumped into each other.
