Young geologists piece together the puzzle of plate tectonics in an earth science lesson. Given a physical map of the world, they search for land formations that indicate the location of different types of plate boundaries.

This comprehensive study guide covers the main terms and concepts needed for an earth science unit on divergent plate boundaries. Review questions are included at the bottom of the study guide.

The U.S. Geological Survey provides descriptions and illustrations for the plate boundaries of the Earth's surface.

This comprehensive study guide covers the main terms and concepts needed for an earth science unit on the earth's tectonic plates. Review questions are included at the bottom of the study guide.

A course lecture on how the Earth's geological features have evolved through the movements of tectonic plates. Explains the different types of plate boundaries and how they manifest in geological formations. Also describes the structure...

A detailed discussion of plate tectonics. Looks at continental drift, types of tectonic plates and plate boundaries, and primary and secondary tectonic plates.

Interactive site provides information on the Breakup of Pangea, plate boundaries, plate movements as well as a quiz.

Explains what a transform boundary is and gives examples of well-known faults of this type.

A brief overview of the earthquake zones.

This site is a very simple overview of plate tectonics. It includes a map of all the major plates and a diagram of the layers of the earth.

Plate Tectonics provides geology with a comprehensive theory that explains how the Earth works.
