Find out how and why certain plates move and learn some of the theories that scientists have used to explain these movements.

Learn what the Ring of Fire is, along with further information on the theory of plate tectonics and how it has contributed toward the formation of mountains.

Contains an online archive of images of the Earth from the late Precambrian era over 60 million years ago. Features information on climate history and research.

Tectonic plates are section pieces of the Earth's lithosphere. This activity demonstrates where earthquakes and volcanoes form at the cracks between plate edges.

Introduces plate tectonics and tells how this theory explains world geography and the origins of volcanoes, earthquakes, and other geologic phenomena.

Contains games and activities that help users learn some terms related to the study of plate tectonics and continental drift.

Offers an analysis on the some of the principles behind 'plate tectonics' including how rift zones develop and how the structural properties of land masses produce certain collisions.
