Explanation:

the earth’s crust is broken into separate pieces called tectonic plates (fig. 7.14). recall that the crust is the solid, rocky, outer shell of the planet. it is composed of two distinctly different types of material: the less-dense continental crust and the more-dense oceanic crust. both types of crust rest atop solid, upper mantle material. the upper mantle, in turn, floats on a denser layer of lower mantle that is much like thick molten tar.

each tectonic plate is free-floating and can move independently. earthquakes and volcanoes are the direct result of the movement of tectonic plates at fault lines. the term fault is used to describe the boundary between tectonic plates. most of the earthquakes and volcanoes around the pacific ocean basin—a pattern known as the “ring of fire”—are due to the movement of tectonic plates in this region. other observable results of short-term plate movement include the gradual widening of the great rift lakes in eastern africa and the rising of the himalayan mountain range. the motion of plates can be described in four general patterns:

collision: when two continental plates are shoved together

subduction: when one plate plunges beneath another (fig. 7.15)

spreading: when two plates are pushed apart (fig. 7.15)

transform faulting: when two plates slide past each other (fig. 7.15)

the words "interested" and "interesting" are in the same word group as they are based in the noun "interest". however, their meanings are very different.

"interesting" is an active adjective, meaning that it causes interest.

"interested" is a passive adjective, meaning that it has interest for something.

a clear example can be "i am interested in this book, the book is really interesting."

generally speaking, an active adjective can end in -ing, and those will be adjectives causing a reaction or emotion. other examples of active adjectives are: boring, exciting, annoying, exhausting.

a passive adjective may end in -ed, and those will be describing the noun that is receiving the action. other examples of passive adjectives are: bored, excited, annoyed, exhausted.
