Plate tectonics is explained clearly in this collection of accurate, accessible science graphics, designed to make teaching and learning about the Earth’s moving plates engaging and easy. Covering processes such as continental drift, seafloor spreading, and subduction, these visuals show how tectonic plates interact to form mountains, trigger earthquakes, and fuel volcanic activity. Perfect for educators, students, and geology enthusiasts, this plate tectonics graphic collection brings one of Earth science’s most important concepts to life with high-quality, visually rich resources.

Paleo surface topography

Earth’s reconstructed global surface topography from the beginning of the Cenozoic era (66 Million years ago) until today.

Earth interior model

Simplified model of the Earth’s interior and its global dynamics featuring a solid inner and a fluid outer core, a viscous partially molten but not fluid mantle, and characteristic surface topography.

Planetary interior

Comparison of suggested mantle convection in the Earth (mobile-lid mode) and Venus (inefficient short slab mode).

Earth processes

A schematic highlighting some of the most relevant Earth processes.

Tectonic plates (relief)

Global maps of tectonic plates of the Earth, consisting of 56 individual plates named according to abbreviations given in Argus et al. (2011).
