Mentor’s Comments-
- Explain what lithosphere and lithospheric plates are, with examples.
- Explain the reason for movement of these plates and its mechanism.
- Conclude by briefly mentioning the effect of plate movement on the Earth’s crust.

Nice attempt, good use of diagrams.
Introduction is good, after that you can mention the major plate names. Diagram is good.
Major sources of heat within the earth like radioactive decay and residual heat which make the rocks at the bottom of lithosphere elastic allowing plates to move can be mentioned.
Diagram again is fine, different types of plate boundaries are also explained well with example.
Conclusion is fine.
Keep practicing. 🙂

Decent attempt.
Introduction is fine.
Mention of plates is also okay, you can draw a diagram showing the major plates, that will be impressive.
Boundary interactions are also fine, in each point some examples can be added.
In mechanism, before writing about convection, source of heat within earth like radioactive decay and residual heat can be mentioned too( Makes the bottom rocks of lithosphere elastic allowing the plates to move).Mechanism of convection is well written, good that you have used diagram, you can also show the phenomenon of ridge push and slab pull there.
Conclusion part is fine.
Keep writing.6.5/15
