Earthquakes, volcanic activity, mountain-building, and oceanic trench formation occur along plate boundaries. For example, the Indian-Australian Plate has collided with the Eurasian Plate to form the Himalayas. Blakey English | 2010-12-22 | ISBN: 3540765034 | 217 pages | PDF | 119 mb.

Today that persuasion has been reversed—plate tectonics, incorporating continental drift, is the ruling perspective. The lateral movement of the Plate tectonic theory arose out of the hypothesis of continental drift proposed by Alfred Wegener in 1912 and expanded in his 1915 book The Origin of Continents and Oceans. Plate Tectonics - Continental Drift and Mountain Building Wolfgang Frisch, Martin Meschede, Ronald C. Divergent or spreading boundaries, and transform boundaries. When two continental crustal plates collide, the compressional deformation usually crumples the rock in the collision zone to produce a mountain range.
