Taking a look at Plate Tectonics Landforms
Theory of Plate Tectonics • Explains how forces within the planet create landforms. • Earth’s surface made up of 12+ large slow moving plates • Move across the upper mantle • Continental Drift • Refer to page 64 in Holt WGT
Plate Movement (65 – 67) • Spreading • Converging • Subduction • Faulting
