Interactive site provides information on the Breakup of Pangea, plate boundaries, plate movements as well as a quiz.

This page has pictures and descriptions of different areas on Earth where the plates are spreading. Also includes links to more information on slow, medium, and fast moving plates.

Visit this site to learn more about the different types of plate boundaries. Includes color pictures and easy-to-understand examples of how and why plates move the way they do.

A detailed description of tectonic plate collisions. There are illustrations of Indian and Eurasian plate collision.

Material to begin an exploration of plate tectonics and mountain formation. An hour-long video is accompanied by learning goals, an outline and overview, details on metamorphic rocks and mountain building, and ideas for teaching this...

This site is a very simple overview of plate tectonics. It includes a map of all the major plates and a diagram of the layers of the earth.

A map of major tectonic plates of the Earth showing where the Eurasian and Indo-Australian plates are located.

Material to begin an exploration of volcanoes, earthquakes, and plate tectonics. An hour-long video is accompanied by learning goals, an outline and overview, details on volcano types, plate boundaries, and "hot spots," and ideas for...

Students investigate how mountains are formed. Concepts include the composition and structure of the Earth's tectonic plates and tectonic plate boundaries, with an emphasis on plate convergence as it relates to mountain formation....

Employ this lesson plan from The Franklin Institute to demonstrate plate tectonics and the effects. This is really just a short demonstration that could be incorporated into your existing lesson plan.

Tens of millions of years ago, plate tectonics set North and South America on an unavoidable collision course that would change the face of the Earth and spell life or death for thousands of species. Juan D. Carrillo explains the massive...
