Imagine the Earth’s surface as a giant puzzle made of pieces called plates. When these plates push or pull against each other, they can cause mountains to rise, like when you stack blocks and they get taller.
Examples
- A hill growing taller when two blocks are pushed together
- Crumpled paper rising up like a mountain when you squeeze it
- A cake layer getting folded into a tall structure when you press down on both sides
