Lempeng Tektonik

Introducing the layers of the Earth such as the core, mantle, and crust, explaining the concept of tectonic plates and their movement.

Discussing the theory of how the continents were once united and then separated, supported by evidence like fossils and the movement of tectonic plates.

Explaining plate movements at divergent boundaries where plates move apart leading to seismic waves, formation of mountains, and magma intrusions.

Detailing plate movements at convergent boundaries where plates collide, forming mountain ranges, trenches, and volcanic arcs, showcasing examples like the Himalayas and Prisma accretionary prism.

Describing transform boundaries where plates slide past each other horizontally, resulting in faults like the San Andreas Fault in North America and causing earthquakes.

Exploring how tectonic faults like the mid-atlantic Ridge and transcurrent faults are formed, leading to the creation of new ocean basins and unique geological formations like the Barisan mountains in Indonesia.
