Deep within the Earth, a powerful process is constantly reshaping the planet’s surface:
🔸 Heat from radioactive decay in the Earth's core creates convection currents in the mantle.
🔸 These currents circulate molten rock, pushing and pulling the tectonic plates floating above.
🔸 As plates move, they interact—colliding, sliding, or drifting apart—leading to earthquakes, volcanoes, and mountain formation.
📊 This internal heat engine drives plate tectonics—the foundation of Earth’s dynamic behavior.
