Here's why:
* Plate Tectonics: The Earth's outer layer is made up of tectonic plates. These plates are not solely continental or oceanic but rather a combination of both.
* Continental and Oceanic Crust: Continental crust is thicker and less dense than oceanic crust.
* Plate Boundaries: Plate boundaries are where the action is. These are zones of interaction where plates either collide, pull apart, or slide past each other.
