Plate Tectonics and Earth Systems

Use evidence from rocks, fossils, seafloor patterns, and landforms to explain that Earth’s surface changes over time because of moving plates and interacting systems.

📋 What You'll Learn

  1. 1 Explain that Earth’s surface changes over different time and size scales
  2. 2 Use evidence for the movement of tectonic plates
  3. 3 Connect earthquakes, volcanoes, mountains, and ocean features to plate interactions
  4. 4 Describe how Earth’s layers and internal movement contribute to surface change
