Plate Tectonics Explained

Discover the pivotal role of seafloor spreading in the acceptance of plate tectonics, a theory once dismissed due to lack of evidence. Learn how divergent and convergent boundaries operate, particularly the subduction process where denser oceanic crust is forced beneath continental crust, leading to its eventual destruction and recycling into the mantle. This fascinating interplay shapes our planet's geology and reveals the dynamic nature of Earth's surface.
