The gradual movement of the continents across the earth’s surface through geological
time.

Tectonic Plate
A block of lithosphere that consists of the crust and the rigid, outermost part of the
mantle.

Convection Currents
Any movement of matter that results from difference in density; may be vertical,
circular, or cyclical.

The zone where one lithospheric plate moves beneath another plate as a result of
tectonic forces.
