Exploring Plate Tectonics: Boundaries and Landforms

Delve into plate tectonics and its effects including divergent boundaries forming mid-ocean ridges, convergent boundaries creating mountains and volcanoes, transform boundaries like the San Andreas Fault causing earthquakes, and evidence for plate movement through rock layers and fossils. This interactive journey includes insights on the formation of new rocks, tectonic features like trenches, and the dynamics of Earth's shifting plates.
