1. Tectonic Plates
A tectonic plate (also called lithospheric plate) is a massive, irregularly shaped slab of solid rock, generally composed of both continental and oceanic lithosphere. Plate size can vary greatly,
from a few hundred to thousands of kilometers across; the Pacific and Antarctic Plates are among the largest.
a) Type of plate boundaries
crashing: Convergent Boundaries,
pulling apart: Divergent Boundaries,
sideswiping: Transform Boundaries
b) Driving forces
A driving force is a conceptual tool that helps us understand deep trends working in the world and has an effect on the terrain of your focal issue.
Driving forces can be identified by different approaches. This page summarizes some and also includes driving forces as seen through the eyes of experts in the field.
It is organized so you can see a particular driving force, see who agrees, and they what others in that list believe .
c) Magnetic Stripping
There are two different types of magnetic striping. One is a phenomenon that appears on the ocean floor; the other is a method of encrypting data on plastic cards.
d) Plate reconstruction
oceanic magnetic and tectonic database, continuously adding new paleomagnetic,
hot spot, geological and geophysical data to extend the span and accuracy of global plate reconstructions.
