Mobile-lid mantle convection
Temporal evolution of a global, fully spherical, 3D model of whole-mantle convection.
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.
