Plate Tectonics. In a nutshell, the basics of plate tectonics are these: 1) the Earth's crust consists of a number of rigid plates. 2) these plates move and interact with each other. 3) the driving force behind plate tectonics is convection in the mantle. 4) in areas of mantle upwelling (rising hot mantle material) the crust is stretched apart and new crust is generated.
Python is arguably the biggest programming language on the Pi right now, for good reason. It has lots of tools, is well supported and development is really fast. Plus itâs easy to learn.
OpenELEC has the same main goal as Raspbmc: provide a simple media center for your Raspberry Pi. The main difference between the two is that OpenELEC doesn't bother with a Linux distro underneath it, and the entire installation is about 100 MB (Raspbmc is about twice this).
