Explore the dynamic forces of Plate Tectonics! Discover how Earth's shifting crust creates mountains, volcanoes, and earthquakes, shaping our world.
About 335 million years ago, Earth's landmasses were joined in a giant continent. Over millions of years, plate tectonics caused Pangaea to break apart, slowly drifting to form the continents we know today.
Scientists discovered a vast reservoir of water, three times the volume of all surface oceans, locked within a blue mineral called ringwoodite in the Earth's mantle. This "deep earth ocean" influences volcanic activity and plate tectonics.
