The movement of the plates creates three types of tectonic boundaries: convergent, where plates move into one another; divergent, where plates move apart; and transform, where plates move sideways ...

Where the movement of currents and the mantle converge, like this, plates are pushed together. This is called a destructive or convergent plate boundary. When the plates collide, the denser plate ...

Although cell polarity is commonly analysed along one, and sometimes two, dimensions, this perspective illustrates how higher-order cell polarity regulates convergent extension — the coordinated ...

But we can see similarities between organisms that live continents apart or are very different in other aspects. One reason for this is convergent evolution. Convergent evolution occurs when organisms ...

This is a dramatic example of convergent evolution, when organisms that aren't closely related evolve similar traits as they both adapt to similar environments. There are a finite number of ...

Also known as subduction boundary, a convergent boundary occurs where one plate slides under another as the two are pushed together. If there is land at the edge of one of these plates ...

Gather your supplies! In this episode we will use everyday materials to learn about tectonic plates and fault lines.
