what are tectonic plates made of and how hot are they?
In: Physics
The bedrock under your feet is a shell around the world, but has cracked into gigantic “plates” that float on the ~~magma~~ underneath. They rub against each other, melt in some places and form in others.
Edit: The mantle is made of semi-viscous rock containing silicon, iron, magnesium, aluminum, oxygen and other minerals. Shout-out to internetboyfriend666.
