Plate Tectonics (How it works (Plates shift and collide, diverge, and…

- - - - The denser crust goes under lighter. #
- - - - Subduction is created.
        
        Digs a big ditch
        
        Mountains rise
        
        Pressure causes greater stress.
  - - - Forms Island Chains.
- - - - Fed by underlying mantle.
      - Due to mantle plumes that raise and heat it up.
      - The lithospheric extension allows the magma to rise.
      - Causes Hotspot Volcanoes
    - - Their position is independent of Tectonic boundaries.
      - Heat and Magma that rises from the mantle
- - - - Coal found in Antartica.
        
        Antartica had to have had a warmer climate.
        
        Coal is organic and proof of life.
      - Rock and Fossil types matched.
      - The continents fit like a puzzle.
        
        Presented Pangaea
    - - Wegener had no present how they move.
      - Later was proved about the plates moving on Asthenosphere.
