What Are Tectonic Plates? Types, Movement, and Their Role in Earth's Seismic Activity
Tectonic plates are massive slabs of Earth's lithosphere that float atop the semi-fluid mantle, constantly shifting and reshaping our planet. These powerful geological forces are behind earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, the rise of mountain ranges, and even changes in climate over time. Explore the science of tectonic plates,what they are, how ...

These animations illustrate several key elements of plate tectonics and show examples of how Earth's tectonic plates have moved over time. Watch Pangea split apart and form the modern continents, see mountains form in western North America and watch India collide with Asia. Animations created by Christopher R. Scotese, PALEOMAP Project/Northwestern University, and Ben A. van der Pluijm, University of Michigan. Read more about plate tectonics here: https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/
