Plate tectonics is the integrated theory of how the large-scale geologic structures on Earth are created. Plates are created where they separate and recycled where they converge, in a continuous process of creation and destruction. The lithosphere—Earth’s strong, rigid outer shell of rock—is broken into about a dozen plates, which slide by, converge with, or separate from each other as they move over the weaker, ductile asthenosphere. Continents, embedded in the lithosphere, drift along with the moving plates. The theory of plate tectonics describes the movement of plates and the forces acting between them. This moving and other related concepts cause all the physical features that we see on the planet: mountain ranges, deep canyons, large continents separated by wide and deep oceans. To begin our explanation of the key elements of plate tectonics theory, we will learn about the physical and chemical structures of the earth, three types of plate boundaries, subduction zones and other special locations on plates. We will see how continents break apart, how they collide, and what makes plates move. Because plate tectonics theory is geology’s grand unifying theory, it is now an essential foundation for the discussion of all geology.

Ding Lin, professor in Geology. He has studied the geology of the Tibetan Plateau and its surrounding areas over 30 years. His expertise lies in continental tectonics, structural geology, geochemistry and geochronology. His research interests focus on the processes of oceanic convergence and continental collision, uplift of the Tibetan Plateau, and uplift-related effects on Asian climate.
