This theory suggests that the earth's crust is broken up into sections:

Which evidence supported the theory of continental drift (before the discovery of plate tectonics)?

What seafloor feature is associated with the subduction zone?

What chain of islands formed due to Hot Spot volcanoes?

Denser ocean crust forced below less dense continental crust

Subduction zone occurs at what kind of boundary?

Sea floor is created at this type of boundary:
