Plate Tectonics
Sophomore · High School · Science
This unit explores the theory of plate tectonics, which explains the movement of Earth's crust and the formation of geological features such as mountains, volcanoes, and earthquakes. Students will learn about the different types of tectonic plates, their interactions, and the impact they have on the Earth's surface.
