Plate Tectonics
Senior · High School · Science
This unit explores the theory of plate tectonics, which explains how the Earth's crust is divided into a number of plates that move around the surface of the planet. Students will learn about the different types of plate boundaries and the processes that occur at these boundaries, such as earthquakes, volcanoes, and mountain formation.
