Plate Tectonics   

Plate tectonics is considered the unifying theory of the Earth sciences. Although a relatively young theory having been introduced in the 1960s, a true revolution or paradigm shift in scientific thinking about the origins of the Earth and evolution resulted from plate tectonic theory. A combination of earlier theories such as continental drift and seafloor spreading, plate tectonics today integrates and explains an exceptionally wide range of Earth features and processes ultimately addressing the truly dynamic nature of planet Earth. Topics discussed in this class will include the history of plate tectonic theory, tectonic plates and rocks, tectonic processes and features, plate tectonic case studies, and supercontinent formation and breakup.
