This person developed the theory of plate tectonics.

This process is when a denser plate sinks underneath another plate.

Where plates slide past each other, in opposite directions, this boundary is formed.

Who is the person responsible for the Theory of Continental Drift?

This kind of plate collision will produce volcanic islands.

This type of boundary is where tectonic plates are moving towards each other.

A collision of these two plates will produce tall mountains.
