The
Story of Plate Tectonics
The story of Plate Tectonics is a fascinating story
of continents drifting majestically from place to place
breaking apart, colliding, and grinding against each other;
of terrestrial mountain ranges rising up like rumples
in rugs being pushed together; of oceans opening and closing
and undersea mountain chains girdling the planet like
seams on a baseball; of violent earthquakes and fiery
volcanoes. Plate Tectonics describes the intricate
design of a complex, living planet in a state of dynamic
flux.
