Plate Tectonic Animations
Plate Tectonics Animation
The concept that plate tectonics is driven by mantle convection
A 2nd illustration of how plate tectonics is driven by mantle convection. Note that is showing the plate subducting.
A final illustration of how plate tectonics is driven by mantle convection. Note that is showing the plate subducting and the associated volcanism.
