These animations illustrate several key elements of plate tectonics and show examples of how Earth's tectonic plates have moved over time. Watch Pangea split apart and form the modern continents, see mountains form in western North America and watch India collide with Asia. Animations created by Christopher R. Scotese, PALEOMAP Project/Northwestern University, and Ben A. van der Pluijm, University of Michigan. Read more about plate tectonics here: https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/

DRIVING FORCES OF EARTH'S DYNAMIC CRUST Tectonic plates are massive segments of the Earth's crust that float atop the upper mantle, a layer composed mostly of solid yet deformable rocks. These plates are not stationary, they are in constant motion, driven primarily by convection currents within the Earth's mantle. Convection currents are formed as a result of heat generated from the Earth's core. This heat causes hot, less dense material to rise toward the Earth's surface, while cooler, denser m
