The story of Plate Tectonics is a fascinating story of
continents drifting majestically from place to place
breaking apart, colliding, and grinding against each
other; of terrestrial mountain ranges rising up like
rumples in rugs being pushed together; of oceans
opening and closing and undersea mountain chains
girdling the planet like seams on a baseball; of violent
earthquakes and fiery volcanoes. Plate Tectonics
describes the intricate design of a complex, living
planet in a state of dynamic flux.
A Combination of Two Ideas
Continental Drift
Sea-Floor Spreading
The Basics
The Earth's surface is covered by a
series of hard crustal plates
The ocean floors are continually,
moving, spreading from the center,
sinking at the edges, and being
regenerated
The Basics, Part II
Convection currents beneath the
plates move the crustal plates in
different directions its like a
conveyor belt, but a little bit slower
The source of heat driving the
convection currents is radioactive
decay deep in the Earths mantle
