Science · General Knowledge · Earth Science
This unit introduces the theory of plate tectonics, which explains how the Earth's lithosphere is divided into several tectonic plates that move relative to each other. Students will explore the causes and effects of plate movement, including earthquakes, volcanoes, and mountain building.
