This video covers the basics of plate tectonics, including the three boundary types: convergent, divergent, and transform; ocean plate subduction; continent-continent convergence; seafloor spreading; and mantle convection. There is also a discussion of the layers and components of ocean crust (in relation to how it formed at seafloor spreading centers), and terrane accretion in subduction zones (as a way that continents grow).
