Plate Tectonics Ever since the beginning on time‚ Humans believed the ground is solid and immobile. But this is not true whatsoever. The Earth is every-changing and continually in motion. The stability of the Earth is not at all what we think it is. Thinking about the rotational axis of the Earth‚ and possibly of what the Earth may become at a certain point in time‚ has a great influence on understanding all aspects of living things‚ either in the past‚ present‚ or future. The study of Plate

INTRODUCTION Plate tectonics The large scale motions of the earth’s lithosphere are describe by a scientific theory called plate tectonics which explains that Earth’s outer layer is made up of plates‚ which have moved throughout Earth’s history. The theory was developed during first decade of 20th century (by a famous advocate Alfred Wegener) on the older concept of continental drift and was accepted by many geoscientific communities. There are currently seven major and many minor plates are present

Plate tectonics Intro: The word tectonic represents the meaning of plates and boundaries. As an example of activity is an earthquake‚ which is caused by two plates like the Eurasian and pacific plate pushing towards each other‚ pushing the land upwards causing a mountain as well as an earthquake. The plates are pieces of land that make up the outer crust‚ these could move together‚ move apart or move alongside each other resulting in mountains‚ volcanoes and earthquakes‚ this happens deep

Plate tectonics (from the Late Latin tectonicus‚ from the Greek: τεκτονικός "pertaining to building")[1] is a scientific theory that describes the large-scale motions of Earth’s lithosphere. The model builds on the concepts of continental drift‚ developed during the first few decades of the 20th century. The geoscientific community accepted the theory after the concepts of seafloor spreading were developed in the late 1950s and early 1960s. The lithosphere is broken up into tectonic plates. On

between species‚ and of ecosystems. Biodiversity in animals have changed over time whether it has been through genetics or adaptations from outside forces‚ such as ecosystems. The question that has been through multiple assumptions and have been approached many times is: How has biodiversity on Earth changed over time? The question has opened many gates to many different answers‚ but what does it actually mean? This statement explains how organisms have grown and made adaptations throughout their ecosystems
