The earth we live on feels so firm under our feet. And yet its surface is made up of slowly moving plates and inside is a core of liquid rock and metal. Sometimes the plates move a little too quickly. They bump into each other or one slides under the other. At such times the earth shakes and rocks everything that is standing on it. Cracks appear and through it spews red-hot lava. As the ground shifts under the ocean large volumes of water are displaced and moved from one place to another. This is the inside story of our planet. What happens when the earth moves? Earthquakes! Volcanoes! Tsunamis!
