Beneath your feet, the Earth is made of layers: the crust, the hot mantle, the core.
🧩 Plates
The crust is broken into large plates that move a few centimeters a year, like your fingernails grow.
🌋 Volcano
Magma rises, comes out through the vent, and becomes lava. Ash and gas are also ejected.
📈 Earthquake
When two plates rub against each other, they get stuck and then suddenly slip: the Earth shakes.
🛡️ Stay safe
During an earthquake: "Drop, cover, and hold on" under a sturdy table.
