What you'll learn

Each question helps you build key knowledge and skills.

  • 1The Earth is made of layers: the crust, the mantle, the outer core and the inner core.
  • 2The crust is broken into huge pieces called tectonic plates that float on the semi-molten mantle below.
  • 3Plates move very slowly, and where they meet is called a plate boundary, which is where earthquakes and volcanoes often happen.
  • 4An earthquake is a sudden shaking of the ground caused by plates moving or getting stuck and then slipping.
  • 5A volcano is an opening in the Earth's surface where magma, ash and gases can escape.
