Presentation Transcript
WHAT IS PLATE ? IN 1965 TUZO WILSON coined the term PLATE. The rigid lithospheric slabs or rigid solid crustal layers floating in Asthenosphere are technically called plate
WHAT IS PLATE TECTONICS? An hypothesis emerged that provided an elegant unifying explanation for all geological processes past and present .this hypothesis is called Plate Tectonics. It helped o understand processes suc as mountain building etc.
DIFFERENT TYPES OF PLATES Major Plate 6 Medium Plate 8 Minor Plate - 20
DIFFERENT TYPES OF PLATE BOUNDRIES CONVERGING PLATE BOUNDRY or DESTRUCTIVE PLATE BOUNDRY DIVERGING PLATE BOUNDRY or CONSTRUCTIVE PLATE BOUNDRY TRANFORM PLATE BOUNDRY or CONSERVATIVE PLATE BOUNDRY
