- Plate Tectonics—The Unifying Theory of Geology
Plate tectonics thus provides “the big picture” of geology; it explains how mountain ranges, earthquakes, volcanoes, shorelines, and other features tend to form where the moving plates interact along their boundaries
- Plate Tectonics - National Geographic Society
Plate tectonics is a scientific theory that explains how major landforms are created as a result of Earth’s subterranean movements The theory, which solidified in the 1960s, transformed the earth sciences by explaining many phenomena, including mountain building events, volcanoes, and earthquakes
