Most stars give off the same amount of light each year, and each star is mapped.
Stars can give off light for many years and never move in space.
Light travels a large distance in one year, and objects in space are very far apart.
About the same number of stars begin giving off light and dying each year
Volcanoes are most often located in the middle of tectonic plates
New volcanoes are located near inactive plate boundaries
Faults and volcanoes existed before there were any tectonic plates
Faults and volcanoes are often found at tectonic plate boundaries

Sediments are deposited where the floor spreads, causing volcanoes.
As the plates pull apart, magma moves to the surface, building ridges
Ocean water erodes the weak spots on tectonic plates, building ridges
Cold ocean water causes fissures that weaken the rocks, causing ridges
