... Slide ten – There are four main points to plate tectonics : 1. The earth’s surface is located on top of tectonic plates. 2. The ocean floors are in constant motion because they are on top of the plates. 3. There are convection currents beneath all the plates. This causes them to be in constant mot ...

... The Earth’s upper crust is broken into large slabs called “Plates”. These plates move around due to convection cells that are occurring underneath them in the Mantle. These plates interact with each other at plate boundaries. There are frequently volcanoes and earth quakes at these boundaries. ...

Pangaea
Pangaea or Pangea (/pænˈdʒiːə/) was a supercontinent that existed during the late Paleozoic and early Mesozoic eras. It assembled from earlier continental units approximately 300 million years ago, and it began to break apart about 175 million years ago. In contrast to the present Earth and its distribution of continental mass, much of Pangaea was in the southern hemisphere and surrounded by a super ocean, Panthalassa. Pangaea was the last supercontinent to have existed and the first to be reconstructed by geologists.
