Draw them on the board using colored chalk ... The plates move relative to each other. This is called plate tectonics. Tell them they will learn about the three different kinds of plate motion ...

Plate tectonics is the theory that Earth's outer layer is made up of plates, which have moved throughout Earth's history. The theory explains the how and why behind mountains, volcanoes ...

According to plate tectonics theory, Earth's outer shell is divided into multiple plates that slowly glide over the mantle. This slowly changes Earth's surface over time by merging, or separating ...

Four types of plate tectonic activity are demonstrated in this feature. Keep an eye on the map to see where in the world the activity takes place. Also known as spreading boundary, a divergent ...

New research reveals a surprising link between the ancient tectonic history of oceanic plates and their fate as they subduct ...

Newly published research has revealed that compositional rock anomalies within oceanic plates caused by ancient tectonics ...

New research suggests that Earth's first crust, formed over 4.5 billion years ago, already carried the chemical traits we ...

The movement of the plates creates three types of tectonic boundaries: convergent, where plates move into one another; divergent, where plates move apart; and transform, where plates move sideways ...
