Plate tectonics | Definition, Theory, Facts, & Evidence
The theory of plate tectonics is based on a broad synthesis of geologic and geophysical data. It is now almost universally accepted, and its adoption represents a true scientific revolution, analogous in its consequences to quantum mechanics in physics or the discovery of the genetic code in biology.
Introduction to plate tectonics (video) | Khan Academy
About. Transcript. 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.
Introduction to plate tectonics (article) | Khan Academy
Earth’s lithosphere, or outermost shell, is broken up into large pieces called tectonic plates. These plates move slowly over the asthenosphere, a layer of softer rock below the lithosphere. On average, tectonic plates move a few centimeters per year. The place where two plates meet is called a plate boundary.
Tectonic Plates - Science Notes and Projects
There are seven major tectonic plates: The African Plate. The Antarctic Plate. The Eurasian Plate. The Indo-Australian Plate (sometimes divided into two plates: Indian Plate and Australian Plate) The North American Plate. The Pacific Plate. The South American Plate.
Plate tectonics - Wikipedia
Plate tectonics (from Latin tectonicus, from Ancient Greek τεκτονικός (tektonikós) 'pertaining to building') is the scientific theory that Earth's lithosphere comprises a number of large tectonic plates, which have been slowly moving since about 3.4 billion years ago.
