In this video we will explain plate tectonics for kids! Together we will learn about the two main types of tectonic plates, Oceanic and Continental. We also cover the 3 kinds of boundaries which are: Convergent, Divergent, and Transform. This helps us understand exactly how the plate tectonics move AND what happens when they do. We will also learn about Pangaea and how all of the plates were once together and over millions the plate tectonics have cause the continents to separate.
