Plate Tectonics provides geology with a comprehensive theory that explains how the Earth works.

This interactive activity produced for Teachers' Domain shows the relationship between tectonic boundaries and the locations of earthquake events and volcanoes around the world.

A webpage explaining the main features of plate tectonics. Understand what evidence exists for plate tectonics and the theory of Pangea. Also learn about the different types of boundaries. The end of the webpage includes more links that...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] How mountains are formed as a result of plate tectonic processes.

What are tectonic plates? Discover how tectonic plates move, the different types, and learn about their boundaries.

This site helps students learn about the Earth science subject of plate tectonics including major and minor plates, convergent, divergent, and transform boundaries.

A course lecture on how the Earth's geological features have evolved through the movements of tectonic plates. Explains the different types of plate boundaries and how they manifest in geological formations. Also describes the structure...

Looking for more information about plate tectonics and what happens at plate boundaries? This site gives definitions of all plate boundaries as well as animations to help visualize what is happening.

In this lesson, students learn about the different kinds of faults and plate boundaries and where they can be found. They research and report on the faults that are present in their state. They are also asked to develop models of three...

Learners identify plate boundaries as well as continents, countries, and bodies of water to become familiar with an area known as the "Ring of Fire."

Two biographies of Wegener and his work including his theory on how raindrops form.

This outstanding website provides an excellent variety of hands-on earthquake activities to help you understand what causes earthquakes.

This is written to support and further your content learning about the dynamic nature of Earth's surface. The goal is for you to develop a conceptual understanding of landforms so that you will be able to more effectively teach...

This resource gives an introduction to the theory of plate tectonics. It also has animations of four types of plate boundary interactions (convergent, divergent, transforming, collisional).

Explains what a transform boundary is and gives examples of well-known faults of this type.

Explanation of the factors that result in the formation of volcanoes, some basic but helpful animations and photographs.
