Plate Tectonics: Evidence and Processes, Slides of Geology

The evidence supporting the theory of plate tectonics, including ocean floor magnetism, seismicity, and cross-continent correlations of rocks. It also discusses the processes of sea-floor spreading, mantle convection, and the evolution of continents through convergent margins and accretion.
