[Mr. Parr - Plate Tectonics Song lyrics]
Hey, the inner core of the Earth is made
It's like a ball, nickel iron encased
The outer is molten metal
Together-size of the moon
See, mantle from inside is one, two, three
Asthenosphere is soft, in Greek means weak
The lithosphere, the crust
And they float on top it's true
Plates collide, pull apart, and grind
Moving slow since beginning of time
That's just what they do the plates move
Wagner, Hess, and then Wilson
They believed crust in slow motion
Plate tectonics proved the plates move
A new theory
He was thinking 'bout how
The sea floor spreads
Earth's plates and about continental drift
So then he took all combined
Wilson made a theory new
Now the plates are floating
That was his claim
Yeah rising currents helped him to explain
He's thinking as the plates move
They all grind, collide, and pull
Plates collide, pull apart, and grind
Moving slow since beginning of time
That's just what they do the plates move
Wagner, Hess, and then Wilson
They believed crust in slow motion
Plate tectonics proved the plates move
A new theory
Convergent boundaries-push into
Divergent-away it's pulling on through
And transform-they grind and cut too
Move side to side
Plates collide, pull apart, and grind
Moving slow since beginning of time
That's just what they do the plates move
Wagner, Hess, and then Wilson
They believed crust in slow motion
Plate tectonics proved the plates move
A new theory
It's like a ball, nickel iron encased
The outer is molten metal
Together-size of the moon
See, mantle from inside is one, two, three
Asthenosphere is soft, in Greek means weak
The lithosphere, the crust
And they float on top it's true
Plates collide, pull apart, and grind
Moving slow since beginning of time
That's just what they do the plates move
Wagner, Hess, and then Wilson
They believed crust in slow motion
Plate tectonics proved the plates move
A new theory

So then he took all combined
