Look at the following images. Think back to our work in Year 3 on volcanoes. What do you think has happened to cause these land formations?

What is an earthquake?An earthquake is a shaking or shock of the Earth’s surface

The world is like a jigsaw.

Earth is made up of tectonic plates

How tectonic plates movePlates can

diverge

converge

transform

Fault lineAs the plates try

to move stress and

friction builds up.

This can cause a fault line.

Seismic waves travel through the earth.
