Plate tectonics help us to explain the process of folding. According to the theory of plate tectonics‚ the earth’s crust is broken up into sections called plates. These plates float on the semi-molten mantle. Thermal convection currents in the mantle drag these plates in different directions resulting in tectonic activity. Folding occurs when rock layers that were originally horizontal are bent into a series of wave-like folds. As a result of this collision of the earth’s tectonic plates‚ the

“P” plate drivers and fatal traffic accidents‚ continues to be a serious public health concern with the main age group being between 17-25 (Transport for NSW 2013a). P plate drivers are 33% more likely to have a crash than L plate drivers (Monash University 200). This is due to a number of factors such as: Inexperience Poor decision making Willingness to take risks whilst driving The influence of peer pressure Alcohol and drug use Stress and fatigue. Young drivers are constantly shown
