## Overview
Plate tectonics is the unifying theory of solid-Earth science: rigid
lithospheric plates move over the asthenosphere, and nearly all
earthquakes, volcanoes, and mountain belts happen at their boundaries.
This skill covers plate kinematics (Euler poles, relative motion),
boundary types and their geology, reconstructions from magnetic anomalies,
and how to use the framework to interpret any region.
## When to use
- Interpreting the tectonic setting of a region: why the earthquakes/volcanoes/mountains are where they are
- Working with plate-motion data (GPS velocities, MORVEL/NNR-MORVEL56)
- Reconstructing past plate configurations from seafloor magnetic anomalies
