Ocean-Plate Tectonics is illustrated in this collection of accurate, accessible science graphics, based on the work of Fabio Crameri and colleagues. These visuals make it easy to understand the processes that shape the oceanic lithosphere, including plate spreading, subduction, and the formation of mid-ocean ridges and trenches. Ideal for educators, students, and geoscience enthusiasts, this ocean-plate tectonics graphic collection brings complex seafloor dynamics to life with visually rich, easy-to-grasp resources for teaching and learning Earth’s oceanic plate processes.
