Cosmology and astronomy: Plate tectonics: Difference between crust and lithosphere
Description
Plate Tectonics Introduction and Difference between crust and lithosphere
Cosmology and astronomy
It's a great, big universe out there. In this section of Khan Academy, you'll learn about the brain-bending vastness of time and space. We go from plate tectonics here on Earth to entire galaxies and beyond.
Plate tectonics
Is it a coincidence that Africa and South America could fit like puzzle pieces? Why do earthquakes happen where they do? What about volcanoes and mountains? Are all of these ideas linked? Yes, they are. This tutorial on plate-tectonics explains how and why the continents have shifted over time. In the process, we also explore the structure of the Earth, all the way down to th…
