THE PLATES OF THE EARTH
• The Earth’s crust is made up of plates.
• The plates move in specific directions.
• The three directions that the plates move are labeled in relation to their boundaries.

SUBDUCTION ZONE
• This is when one tectonic plate sinks beneath the other. Usually the weaker plate sinks.
