Plate Tectonics—Geological Features of Convergent Plate Boundaries
Recap divergent and convergent boundaries with a video on plate tectonics. After discussing the circumstances surrounding subduction at oceanic and continental plates versus subduction at two oceanic boundaries, the video explains the...
Khan Academy
Plate Tectonics: Evidence of Plate Movement, Cosmology & Astronomy
Need a video to accompany your lecture on plate tectonics? Sal summarizes clues that certain parts of the world may have once been connected. Use the video as part of one lecture or break it up over several lessons.
Khan Academy
Plate Tectonics: Difference Between Crust and Lithosphere, Cosmology and Astronomy
Explore the tectonic plates that make up the surface of our Earth and their movement, as well as the terminology of the Earth's structure.
Khan Academy
Hawaiian Islands Formation, Cosmology and Astronomy
Sal explains the formation of Hawaii and the theories behind the formation of a boundary-related hot spot. He debates the concept that the hot spot is traveling along with the plate.

Why Do Buildings Fall in Earthquakes?
There are few natural phenomena as startling as an earthquake, and depending on the building you're in, these experiences can be downright terrifying. Follow along as this video explores the factors that determine how a building...
Khan Academy
Plate Tectonics: Geological Features of Divergent Plate Boundaries
Sal explains the mechanism of crust lift developing at hot spots. The density changes at that point, continuing to cause depressions. The depressions and thinner layers fill with water, resulting in a flooded rift valley.
Khan Academy
Compositional and Mechanical Layers of the Earth, Cosmology and Astronomy
Sal details the chemical and mechanical composition of the Earth's crust, mantle, and core layers—a substantial addition to your geology or earth science lecture.
