and make it sound like a 11 year old

Answer 1

Valleys and mountains are made when the Earth's tectonic plates move and push against each other. Sometimes, when two plates collide, one plate gets pushed up, creating a mountain. Other times, when plates pull apart, a valley forms because the land sinks down between them. This movement can happen slowly over millions of years, but it's what shapes our planet's land!
