“One tectonic plate bumped into another and then said, ‘Sorry, my fault’” is a science joke that has been printed on many images. The joke has been cited in print since at least 2009.
“Continental breakfasts should be served on tectonic plates,” “What did the tectonic plates have for breakfast?”/“Panquakes” and “What’s the Earth’s favorite fizzy drink?”/“Tectonic water” are other tectonic jokes.
