    This is by far the best example that plate tectonic can be explained in simple terms.

      Erroneous plate tectonics has been explained in simple terms. Great!
      The Earth gradually expands, and geoscientists should contemplate about this phenomenon.

    Hi Michael! I wanted to take a moment to thank you for all your excellent Geology videos. They have been a huge help in teaching the subject, especially the theory of plate tectonics, and are far better quality than any others I've seen on UA-cam. Awesome work!

    There is an excellent book called Tectonic Processes, cannot remember who by. It is mainly where I learned about plate Tectonics a few decades ago. But all of the essentials in a twelve minute video, so succinctly and intellegently delivered is nothing short of a masterpiece, thank you so much, really enjoyed that refresher.

      Don't teach the plate tectonics "theory". It's comletely wrong.
      I do support the hypotheses of the Earth expansion and mass increase. We surely don't understand the history and the future of the planets and stars.
