The theory of plate tectonics offered new and more scientifically sound explanations for a number of observed geologic phenomena. For example, the following diagrams illustrate the three types of plate convergence and describe some ... The next diagram shows the collision of an oceanic and a continental plate (Figure 10i-6).

Plate tectonics: The main features are: ... PLATES ARE CREATED: In the diagram below you can see that the continental crust is beginning to separate creating a diverging plate boundary. When a divergence occurs within a continent it is called rifting.

In the 1960s, scientists developed a revolutionary theory called plate tectonics. Plate tectonics holds that the lithosphere, a layer of rigid material composed of the outer crust and the very top of the mantle, is divided into seven large plates and several more ...
