Tectonics: plate movement

Earth structure, plate tectonics theory: convection currents and sea-floor spreading Evidence: continental drift and palaeomagnetism
!estructive, constructive and conservative plate margins "rocesses: seismicity and vulcanicity
#ssociated landforms: young fold mountains, rift valleys, ocean ridges, deep sea trenches and island arcs $ot spots associated %ith plumes of
magma and
their relationship to plate movement
