When these plates move and shake, they may also cause earthquakes. These are common along faults which are breaks in the Earth’ ...

The Earth's crust is divided into seven large and a number of smaller plates which make up continents and the ocean floor, and they move in relation to one another.

History of geology
The history of geology is concerned with the development of the natural science of geology. Geology is the scientific study of the origin, history, and structure of the Earth. Throughout the ages geology provides essential theories and data that shape how society conceptualizes the Earth.
