Lesson 3: Chapter 9 The Theory of Plate Tectonics

It explains the movement of continents and ocean floors, leading to earthquakes and volcanoes.

It describes the formation of the atmosphere.

It focuses only on the study of fossils.

It is unrelated to natural disasters.

Divergent plate boundary

Transform plate boundary

Convergent plate boundary

Subduction zone

Deep ocean trenches

Rift valleys

Earthquakes

Mountain ranges

Basal Drag

Ridge Push

Slab Pull

Mantle Plume

Plates move and collide, causing these geological features to form.

Plates remain stationary, preventing any geological changes.

Plates only move vertically, which does not affect the Earth's surface.

Plates dissolve into magma, eliminating geological features.
