Plate Tectonics theory proposed by Wilson Tozo. Based on the Theory of Plate Tectonics, Earth's crust consists of several tectonic plates in the upper layer of liquid viscous asthenosphere. Tectonic plates that make up the earth's crust is always moving because of the influence of convection currents that occur on the asthenosphere layer with the position of tectonic plates beneath the earth's crust.
Under her direction, the movement of tectonic plates can be divided into three types, namely as follows :
Convergence, ie the movement of tectonic antarlempeng collide. Antarlempeng collision of tectonic plates can benuad collisions between continents, or between the continental shelf and sea floor plate. Or the scene of the collision zone between tectonic plates and continents is called continental convergent zones. For example a collision between the India plate and the Eurasian continental plate that generates the formation of young fold mountains of the Himalayas and is the highest in the world peguntingan with the highest peak, Mount Everest. As another example, the European plate collision that resulted in the formation pathway Alpes Mountains. Collision zone between the lines of the continental shelf and sea floor plate, which is called a subduction zone (zone suduction), for example, collisions between plates of America and the base plate from the Pacific Ocean resulting in the formation of the Rocky Mountains and the Andes.
Divergence, ie the movement of tectonic plates at each other menjanh, such as joint menjauth movement between Africa and South American plates. A separation zone lines where tectonic plates are called different zones (zone of separation scatterplot ).
Horizontal fault (Taransform), namely the movement against each other (opposite directions) antarlempeng tectonics. Examples of friction between the plates of the Pacific Ocean and North American plates that resulted in the formation of mainland San Andreas Fault that stretches some 1,200 miles from San Francisco north to Los Angeles in the southern United States. Street zone where tectonic plates rub against the so-called Horizontal Fault Zone (the transformation zone).
