​Introduction to Plate Tectonics

What are Plate Tectonics?​

​Plate Tectonics

Some text here about the topic of discussion

• A scientific theory that explains how major landforms are created as a result of Earth's subterranean movements.

• Subterranean movements

  • ​Are movements that happen under the Earth's surface which can cause earthquakes, form volcanos and mountains.

Poll

Subterranean Movements can cause...

• Volcanoes, Thunderstorms, and Earthquakes

• Mountains, Earthquakes, and Tornados

• Earthquakes, Volcanoes, and Mountains

• Tornados, Earthquakes, and Thunderstorms

Convergent Boundaries​

Some text here about the topic of discussion

​

• When two plates collide, this can cause earthquakes and volcanoes

Divergent Boundaries

Some text here about the topic of discussion

• ​When two plates move apart, which can form mountain ridges.

• Mountain ridges form when Magma escapes into the services in between plates
