The plates can be thought of like pieces of a cracked shell that rest on the hot, molten rock of Earth's mantle and fit snugly against one another. The heat from radioactive processes within the planet's interior causes the plates to move, sometimes toward and sometimes away from each other.

equator during metaphase

Explanation:

Mitosis is a type of cell division which produces two daughter cells that are genetically identical to the parent cell. In mitosis, the chromosome number of the parent cell is maintained in the daughter cells i.e. a diploid cell (2n) will undergo mitosis to produce two diploid (2n) daughter cells. During mitotic division, sister chromatids (replicated chromosomes) are involved in the division stages. i.e. diploid sister chromatids align at the equator of the cell during Metaphase and also sister chromatids are separated or pulled apart to opposite poles during Anaphase.

Meiosis, on the other hand, is a kind of cell division that results in daughter cells with a reduced number of chromosome (by half). Since the chromosome number is reduced, meiosis occurs in a two step division process viz: Meiosis I and II.

Meiosis I produces two genetically different daughter cells. The daughter cells have a reduced number of chromosomes i.e. from diploid (2n) to haploid (n). Meiosis I involves homologous chromosomes (similar but non-identical chromosomes received from each parent) which pair up to form a TETRAD structure in the Prophase stage. This structure allows for an exchange of chromosomal segment between non-sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes, a process called CROSSING-OVER. Crossing-over is what makes the daughter cells genetically different from the parent cell. Homologous chromosomes also aligns at the equator of the cell during Metaphase and later separates during Anaphase.

Meiosis II divides the two daughter cells produced in meiosis I into four genetically different daughter cells. Since the chromosome number has been reduced from diploid (2n) to haploid (n) in meiosis I when homologous chromosomes separate, haploid sister chromatids are involved in the stages of meiosis II i.e. haploid sister chromatids align at the equator of the cell during Metaphase and eventually becomes pulled apart during Anaphase.
