Plate tectonics (from the Late Latintectonicus, from the Greek:τεκτονικός "pertaining to building") is a scientific theory that describes the large-scale motion of Earth's lithosphere. This theoretical model builds on the concept of continental drift which was developed during the first few decades of the 20th century. The geoscientific community accepted plate-tectonic theory after seafloor spreading was validated in the late 1950s and early 1960s.
The lithosphere, which is the rigid outermost shell of a planet (the crust and upper mantle), is broken up into tectonic plates. The Earth's lithosphere is composed of seven or eight major plates (depending on how they are defined) and many minor plates. Where the plates meet, their relative motion determines the type of boundary: convergent, divergent, or transform. Earthquakes, volcanic activity, mountain-building, and oceanic trench formation occur along these plate boundaries. The lateral relative movement of the plates typically ranges from zero to 100mm annually.
Description of the major plate boundaries.
In the video, I include description of convergent boundaries. There are three types of convergent boundaries, continental to continental, oceanic to continental, and oceanic to oceanic.
Divergent boundaries are when lithospheric plates move away from each other.
Transform boundaries slide past one another.

PLATE TECTONICS
There's a continent called Pangaea?! Well, there once was. Hundreds of millions of years ago, Earth looked completely different from how it does today. All of the land was packed into a single supercontinent. Geologist Alfred Wegener theorized that this giant landmass split into chunks and slowly drifted apart. Rejected at first by the scientific community, Wegener's theory of continental drift eventually was proved correct: The earth's crust is split up into dozens of pieces called tectonic plates, which "float" on top of the mantle. Warmed by the blazing-hot core, the mantle churns in circular convection currents, dragging tectonic plates along for the ride. Today, plate tectonics is the unifying theory of the entire field of geology. It explains the rock cycle, the origin of Earth's sur...

Introduction to Plate Tectonics
I am pleased to offer a new HD motivational trailer choreographed to powerful music, introducing students to the Earth Science subject of "Plate Tectonics". It is designed as a dramatic inspirational trailer to be shown by teachers in middle school, high school and college as a visual Introduction to this amazing geologic process on Earth. I promise your students will love watching it and will be eager to learn this topic.
Music is a blend of clips from Deathly Hallows part 2, and Transformers.

This theoretical model builds on the concept of continental drift which was developed during the first few decades of the 20th century.

The lateral relative movement of the plates typically ranges from zero to 100mm annually.
