I need to find an article about plate tectonics, or anything related to that, for an extra credit assignment that is due tommorrow. I have been searching Google for a while and am having trouble finding anything useful. Do you have any suggestions for me? A link to a helpful article would also be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the help, everyone!
Let me put more details in here:
I need a news article about something to do with plate tectonics in "the real world." We're learning about it in Earth Science and my teacher wants to show us that we might need this knowledge in "real life."
