There are a dozen major plates and several minor plates.
 A plate can carry continental crust, oceanic crust, or some of each.
 Plates can be identified by the locations of earthquake epicenters.
 Plates move by seafloor spreading
Seafloor spreading is driven by mantle convection.
 Plates move as if on a conveyor belt.
The theory of plate tectonics brings together continental drift and seafloor spreading.
 At a plate boundary, two plates can be moving apart, together or past each other.
 Plate tectonics theory explains many things in geology, such as where volcanoes, earthquakes, mountain
ranges, ore deposits, and other features are located.
