Ever wonder what is the deal with tectonic plates? How about the theory of plate tectonics? Don't feel bad we didn't either until we read through this and saw the awesoem tectonic plate map! #tectonicplates Tectonic Plates Map, Lithospheric Plates, Tectonic Plate Boundaries, Seafloor Spreading, World Map Europe, Plate Tectonic Theory, Structure Of The Earth, Maps Aesthetic, Plate Boundaries

This intermediate-level animation describes what the tectonic (lithospheric) plates are and how they interact. It differentiates between continental and oceanic plates, and between the three major types of boundaries.

Earthquake Formation: Crust, Plates, Currents, Drift and Faults - Lesson

Students learn about the structure of the earth and how an earthquake happens. In one activity, students make a model of the earth including all of its layers. In a teacher-led demonstration, students learn about continental drift. In another activity, students create models demonstrating the different types of faults.
