PPT-SUBDUCTION

Reporters Alconera PP Villacampa E Mangaway Cris A scientific theory which describes the large scale motions of Earths lithosphere Plate tectonics is the study of how the Earths plates are driven and shaped by geological forces that keep them in constant motion . According . to Alfred Wegener, the super-continent of Pangea began to break up 200 million years ago with the continents attaining the size, shape, and location where we see them today. This movement of continents has not yet come to an end. According to J.
