Today I learned
1. there are 7 continents and 5 oceans
2. there are 14 major plates and 38 mior plates
3. the largest plates are the Antarctic Plate, the Eurasian Plate, and the North American Plate.
4. tectonic plates move about as fast as your fingernails grow — 5 to 10 centimeters per year.
5. the continents and the oceans rest on tectonic plates, which float on the mantle.
I want to know do oceanic plates always move from left to right.
