Plate Tectonics Online at NASA's Observatorium
"In this article, web surfers can view a map of how our planet might have looked in the early days and learn about the three types of faults involved in plate tectonics.
"Scientists have long theorized -- and NASA research and radio-astronomy studies support -- that Earth's inner furnace powers the movement of independent tectonic plates, which rest upon a layer of the planet known as the lithosphere. It is upon these moving plates that today's continents sit ... but not totally still.
