The document discusses how plate tectonics shapes the Earth. Heat from the Earth's core causes convection currents in the mantle, which move tectonic plates around on the surface. As plates move, they interact through subduction, collision, and spreading at boundaries, generating volcanic and seismic activity. Over long time periods, this process of plate tectonics has assembled and broken apart supercontinents and changed global climate through shifting ocean and mountain ranges.
