Order Description:
In your own words, using college level writing, describe plate tectonics to someone who has a high school education, but has never studied the process. You should include a few basic definitions and descriptions, and discuss the following: Part A What are plate tectonics? Why and how do plate tectonics occur? What are some potential hazards caused by plate tectonics? Part B What is abrupt climate change? How and why could abrupt climate change occur? How do we know abrupt climate change has occurred in the past?
