Imagine the Earth is like a giant puzzle made of big, moving pieces called plates. When these plates push together, they can lift up huge slabs of rock, creating mountain ranges, just like when you stack blocks and make a wall.
Examples
- When you press your hands together on a table, it's like two plates pushing against each other.
- The Himalayas were created when the Indian Plate bumped into the Eurasian Plate.
