Course Details

• Unit 1: Introduction to Plate Tectonics – Understanding the primary principles and theories of plate tectonics, its history, and significance in Earth's geology.
• Unit 2: Types of Plate Boundaries – Exploring the three main types of plate boundaries (divergent, convergent, and transform) and their characteristics.
• Unit 3: Divergent Boundaries – Examining the processes involved in the creation of new crust at mid-ocean ridges and rift valleys.
• Unit 4: Convergent Boundaries – Delving into the formation of mountain ranges, volcanic arcs, and deep-sea trenches through the collision of tectonic plates.
• Unit 5: Transform Boundaries – Investigating the mechanisms behind lateral plate motion and strike-slip faults.
• Unit 6: Seafloor Spreading – Understanding the process and evidence for the movement of seafloor spreading and its relationship to plate tectonics.
• Unit 7: Plate Tectonics and Continental Drift – Exploring the connection between the theory of continental drift and plate tectonics.
• Unit 8: Virtual Plate Tectonics – Hands-on experience with virtual plate tectonics software to simulate and visualize plate motion and its geological implications.
• Unit 9: Case Studies in Plate Tectonics – Applying plate tectonics concepts to real-world examples, such as the San Andreas Fault and the Himalayan Mountains.
• Unit 10: Future of Plate Tectonics Research – Discussing the latest developments and future research directions in the field of plate tectonics.
