The Earth's crust is doing something pretty intense—it’s slowly breaking apart! Scientists say tectonic plates, those massive puzzle pieces that make up our planet’s surface, are shifting and cracking more than ever. This could mean a big change in how continents and oceans are shaped over millions of years. It’s like the Earth is gearing up for a whole new chapter. Don’t worry, though—this isn’t an overnight thing, so no sudden sinkholes or new oceans tomorrow. Still, it’s wild to think about how the ground beneath us is always moving, shaping the planet’s future bit by bit.
