Plate tectonic theory shows that the crust of the ... moving at about the same speed as your fingernails grow, so the map of the world will continue to change, but just very, very, very slowly.

Along with redefining the geological map of the North Atlantic, the continent's discovery also expands our understanding of plate tectonic reorganisation, continental separation and how fragments ...

Four types of plate tectonic activity are demonstrated in this feature. Keep an eye on the map to see where in the world the activity takes place. Also known as spreading boundary, a divergent ...

Plate tectonics is relatively new, put forth in the last 30 years or so — its forerunner was the now-discarded continental drift theory. The theory states that Earth's outer shell is made up of ...
