slide1. WHAT IS PLATE ? IN 1965 TUZO WILSON coined the term PLATE. The rigid lithospheric slabs or rigid solid crustal layers floating in Asthenosphere are technically called plate<br>
slide2. WHAT IS PLATE TECTONICS? An hypothesis emerged that provided an elegant unifying explanation for all geological processes past and present .this hypothesis is called Plate Tectonics. It helped o understand processes suc as mountain building etc.<br>
slide3. DIFFERENT TYPES OF PLATES Major Plate – 6
Medium Plate – 8
Minor Plate - 20<br>
slide4. DIFFERENT TYPES OF PLATE BOUNDRIES CONVERGING PLATE BOUNDRY or DESTRUCTIVE PLATE BOUNDRY
DIVERGING PLATE BOUNDRY or CONSTRUCTIVE PLATE BOUNDRY
TRANFORM PLATE BOUNDRY or CONSERVATIVE PLATE BOUNDRY<br>
slide5. THANK YOU<br>
