This lecture introduce on Tectonic Plates. Today plate boundaries are determined by examining the location of volcanoes and earthquakes. Volcanoes result from the friction (heat) of the plates motion. Earthquakes occur where plate rub against one another. There are a few handfuls of major plates and dozens of smaller, or minor, plates. From the deepest ocean trench to the tallest mountain, plate tectonics explains the features and movement of Earth’s surface in the present and the past.
