Explain Why The Earth Is Constantly Shifting

The Earth is constantly moving. The earth is not stable because, the plates are all ways moving.There is different boundaries for the plates in the earth there is convergent, Divergent, and transform boundaries. The transform boundaries rub together and causes enough friction that when the potential energy lets loose it creates an earthquake. convergent boundaries we'll come together that can help make mountains because when one plate is more dense than the other plate, the more dense plate will move underneath of the less dense plate and Austin's plate will come out of the crust and start forming a mountain. The Divergent can cause Canyons and crevices because the divergent boundary is when the plates will separate from each other. What causes a the crests to move is convection which the source of the heat comes from the center of the Earth. What helps heat up the center of the earth is the decay of atoms and friction. This is called plate tectonics the person who found this he was named Alfred Wegener most of the other scientists did not want to accept them because of the evidence being what it was he did not have enough evidence.
The earthquakes get so bad in California and so often that if the house is were not on rollers they would fall apart, the rollers help reduce the stress from the earthquakes for the buildings. The earthquakes which as explained above is caused from transform boundaries. in California this fault is called the San Andreas Fault. The San Andreas fault has been building up potential energy for years upon years till the plates can't hold the energy and have to release it. Even though the plates have given off some of the potential energy they are still building up more potential energy
