Introduction to plate tectonics. Earth's lithosphere is broken up into tectonic plates, which move slowly over time. Evidence like matching coastlines and same-species fossils on different continents support this. A plate boundary is where two tectonic plates meet. There are three types of plate boundaries: convergent, divergent, and transform.

The theory of plate tectonics. The Earth's crust is made up of 14 sections called plates. These plates are not stationary. The theory of plate tectonics explains how and why plates move and also the formation of volcanoes, earthquakes, oceanic trenches and other geologic phenomena. The rigid crust that has broken into the plates float on the ...

Lesson 1 Plate Boundaries Figure 1. Map of Plate Boundaries Figure 1 shows large and small lithospheric plates, including the Philippine Plate. These plates are moving very slowly but constantly. The movement of the plate is called Tectonic. In Module 1, you have learned about Plate Tectonics. In this module, you will
The Earth’s crust consists of nine large plates and twelve smaller ones. The continents are in the continental plates and the oceanic plates make up much of the sea loor. fPlate Tectonics Plate tectonics Heat rising and falling inside the mantle creates convection currents generated in the Earth’s core. The convection currents move the plates.
