GED® Science: Plate Tectonics & Earth's Changing Surface (Deep Dive)

A deep dive into the theory that reshaped Earth science, expanding the single 'Plate Tectonics & Earth's Changing Surface' lesson from the GED® Earth & Space Science course into a full mini-course. You'll follow the real detective story: Wegener's idea that the continents once fit together, why scientists rejected it, and how the discovery of seafloor spreading and magnetic stripes finally revealed the engine driving the plates. From there you'll master the three kinds of plate boundaries and the mountains, volcanoes, earthquakes, and island chains they build. Plain language, all-new labeled diagrams, common-misconception warnings, and GED®-style practice with full explanations throughout.
