For millions of years, Earth’s shifting plates have shaped continents, formed oceans, and built towering mountain ranges. But ...

Different plate tectonic settings produce distinctive basin environments where sedimentary rocks ... Here is a nice summary of sedimentation on divergent margins: be sure to look at the diagrams on ...

Slab pull occurs where older, denser tectonic plates sink into the mantle at subduction zones. As these older sections of plates sink, newer and less dense sections of plate are pulled along behind.

This video demonstrates the movement of the Earth’s crust and how tectonic plates interact at plate margins. Find out more about Bitesize GCSE Geography.

A global reanalysis of both short- and long-term deformation clarifies how obliquity affects strain partitioning in convergent plate boundaries.
