Students explore a brief introduction to the concept of plate tectonics. They investigate that the outer surface of the earth is divided into a number of separate plates made up of the crust plus a bit of the mantle below. Students comprehend, when mixed with other ingredients, that volcanoes, earthquakes and such are key factors this this mixture produces. Full Review »
