Which layer of the Earth is responsible for driving plate motion through convection currents?

Mantle

What are the three types of plate boundaries?

Convergent, divergent, and transform

Which type of volcano is characterized by gentle eruptions and broad, shield-like shapes?

Which one of these equations can be used to calculate velocity?

$v = u + a t$

Which one of these correctly describes Newton's Third Law?

Test your knowledge on Plate Tectonics and the structure of the Earth. Learn about the Theory of Plate Tectonics, including the core, mantle, and crust. Understand how convection currents in the mantle drive plate motion. Explore convergent, divergent, and transform plate boundaries, and identify real-world examples of each. Challenge yourself and expand your understanding of Earth's dynamic processes.
