Plate Tectonics

The video explains plate tectonics, the movement of Earth's crustal plates, and their impact on geological features like mountains, earthquakes, and volcanoes. It describes different types of plate boundaries—divergent, convergent, and transform—and their associated phenomena. The video also discusses historical evidence for plate movements, including the concept of Pangaea and fossil records. Key concepts include the lithosphere, convection currents, and seafloor spreading.

What is the significance of divergent boundaries in plate tectonics?

How do the movements of tectonic plates contribute to the formation of mountains?
