Plate Tectonic Planet Keychain
Our Plate Tectonic Planet keychain teaches all about the inner and outer workings of a geologically active "terrestrial" planet. On this little planet, you can see examples of every major type of tectonic boundary, as well as many other important geological phenomena.
Subduction zones, a seafloor spreading zone, a continental rift, transform faults, a collisional mountain-building zone, and a hotspot volcanic island chain are just a few of the features depicted. A unique educational keepsake for Fans of geology, seismology, volcanology, and the other Earth sciences!
Comes with a detailed, full-color diagram which describes the geological features depicted, and lists well-known terrestrial equivalents (diagram also downloadable here).
