Forces of Plate Tectonics
The dynamics of plate tectonics are driven by convection currents in the mantle, coupled with gravitational forces that pull plates down during subduction. Evidence supporting this theory includes the distinctive magnetic striping found at mid-ocean ridges, which showcases a clear pattern of oceanic crust formation. This compelling data not only reinforces the concept of continental drift but also highlights the ongoing cycle of plate recycling over geological time.In this clip
