Visualizations Related to Plate Tectonic Movements
The following pages were developed as a part of the Teaching Geoscience with Visualizations workshop and website. Each page presents quality visualizations on a particular topic in the geosciences. You can browse through the whole collection of visualization pages on the Teaching with Visualizations website.
- Earthquakes - animations showing seismograph operation, tsunami, P and S Waves, earthquake focus versus epicenter, and actual footage of an earthquake.
- Isostacy and Gravity - animations, interactive graphics, and static images used to illustrate the concept of isostasy and to show how measurement of gravity over mountain ranges provides evidence that mountains have deep roots.
- Plate Tectonic Movements - visualizations and supporting material that can be used effectively to teach students about plate tectonic movements.
