Plate tectonics is the theory that Earth's outer layer is made up of plates, which have moved throughout Earth's history. The theory explains the how and why behind mountains, volcanoes, and ...

These convergent boundaries also occur where a plate of ocean dives, in a process called subduction, under a landmass. As the overlying plate lifts up, it also forms mountain ranges.

A new picture of the early Earth is emerging, including the surprising finding that plate tectonics may have started more than 4 billion years ago — much earlier than scientists had believed ...

The theory of plate tectonics took shape in the 1960s after more precise seafloor maps and seismic activity monitoring revealed signs of our planet’s shifting shell. But the ideas built upon those of ...

Learn how the layers of the Earth are structured, and the theory of plate tectonics in this guide for KS3 geography students aged 11-14 from BBC Bitesize.

Convergent Boundary Also known as subduction boundary, a convergent boundary occurs where one plate slides under another as the two are pushed together.
