I guess because they are both a straight line and they each move back and forward
The study of lithospheric plates is called plate tectonics. It focuses on the movement and interactions of the Earth's lithospheric plates, which form the outer shell of the Earth. Plate tectonics help explain processes like earthquakes, volcanoes, and mountain building.
because they are weird like that
Lithospheric plates are large, rigid sections of the Earth's outermost layer, the lithosphere, that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere underneath. These plates interact with each other at their boundaries, resulting in processes like tectonic plate movement, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and the formation of mountain ranges.

A convergent boundary is when two plates collide with each other forming landforms like trenches, or mountains (depends which type of plates converge.)
When you are done with your Shopping Cart, you can return it to the store, leave it in a Shopping Cart Corral, or a Shopping Cart Area, which usually says "Please return Shopping Carts Here!" Thank You or it may say " Please help keep costs low by returning your Shopping Cart Here! Thank You". If there are no cart corrals or such things like that in the parking lot, then leave it in the parking lot, just find a spot where a cart will fit, without damages any cars. Do Not Take Shopping Carts Off Store Premises!! It's the Law!!
Lithospheric plates move relatively slowly, at rates ranging from a few millimeters to a few centimeters per year, depending on the specific plate and location. This movement is driven by the process of plate tectonics, where plates interact at their boundaries through processes like subduction, seafloor spreading, and continental collision.
The process that drives the movement of lithospheric plates across the surface of the Earth is called plate tectonics. This movement is mainly driven by the heat generated from radioactive decay in the Earth's interior, which creates convection currents in the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath the lithosphere. These convection currents cause the lithospheric plates to move, leading to phenomena like seafloor spreading, subduction, and continental drift.
The layer of tar-like mantle under the tectonic plates is called the asthenosphere. It is a partially molten and ductile region of the Earth's mantle that allows the lithospheric plates to move on top of it.
Unfortunately they do not make folding shopping carts like the ones that are found in the grocery stores. They do make little pull carts that fold. Therefore, a standard grocery cart would be able to hold more groceries.
Poptropica just put them there for laughs, like the shopping carts in the market. The bugs and carts have nothing to do with your mission to earn the island medallion.
