Geological Processes | Plate Tectonics

The collection encompasses the theory of plate tectonics, detailing the movement of the Earth's lithospheric plates which interact at defined boundaries leading to geological phenomena such as earthquakes, volcanism, and mountain formation. Topics include types of plate boundaries (divergent, convergent, transform), the mechanisms driving plate movement, the historical development of tectonic theory, and the relationship between tectonic activity and seismic events. Additionally, there are discussions on continental drift and seafloor spreading, supported by geological and paleontological evidence.
