📖 1. Plate Tectonics Theory

🔑 Key Concepts & Definitions

  • Tectonic Plates: Large, rigid pieces of Earth's lithosphere that move and interact on the Earth's surface, causing geological activity.
  • Lithosphere: The Earth's outer shell, comprising the crust and uppermost mantle, divided into tectonic plates.
  • Asthenosphere: A semi-fluid, ductile layer beneath the lithosphere that allows tectonic plates to move.
  • Plate Boundaries: Edges where two tectonic plates meet, classified as divergent, convergent, or transform, each associated with specific geological phenomena.
  • Seafloor Spreading: The process where new oceanic crust forms at divergent boundaries, causing plates to move apart.
  • Subduction Zone: A region where one tectonic plate sinks beneath another, often leading to earthquakes and volcanic activity.
