Summary Plate Tectonics Theory: Divergent, Convergent & Transform Boundaries
Explore the fundamental theory of plate tectonics with a focus on divergent, convergent, and transform boundaries. Discover how Earth's lithospheric plates interact and move along these boundary types, resulting in various geologic phenomena such as seafloor spreading, mountain formation, and earthquakes. This concise file provides valuable insights into the dynamic processes that have shaped the Earth's surface and continue to influence the ever-changing landscape.
