A song about plate tectonics written for my students.

Tectonics in Action
Words and music by Ms. Whatley

Chorus:
Am-F-G-C
Splitting, sliding, sinking, colliding
Am-F-G-C
The Earth comes together and then starts dividing
C-F-G-D
Like pieces of a puzzle, tectonics in action
C-F-Dm-G
Convection in the mantle, it’s just a chain reaction

V1:
Am-D-Em-C
When continents collide we call it convergent
Am-D-Em-C
Mountains up high or oceans submerging
G-D-Dm-Am
When water meets land we call it subduction,
C-F-Dm-G
Better watch out for the volcanoes’ eruption!

V2:
Am-D-Em-C
Divergent is when the plates start to spread
Am-D-Em-C
Then new crust is formed in its stead
G-D-Dm-Am
Mid-ocean ridges form down the center
C-F-Dm-G
And rift valleys tear the land asunder

Chorus

Bridge:
A-F-G x3
Ahhhh
A-F-D
Ahhhh

V3:
Am-D-Em-C
Transform boundaries slide past one another
Am-D-Em-C
This creates tension, and makes the land shudder
G-D-Dm-Am
If you feel an earthquake, you better just halt –
C-F-Dm-G
Don’t blame me, it’s the Earth’s fault

Chorus – End on C

Thank you. I have to work on getting the timing to match the song in the DAW. It's off my maybe microseconds. Always happens. Not sure why. Thank you so much for your su\bmission
