The PALEOMAP Project illustrates the plate tectonic development of the ocean basins and continents, as well as the changing distribution of land and sea during the past 1100 million years. Includes virtual 3D paeloglobes.

Complete biographical information with links to his theories. Contains links to interactives on plate tectonics.

Learn about the supercontinent known as Pangaea that broke apart into the continents that we know today. Answer questions when you finish reading.

A unit on plate tectonics designed for middle school students, this page must be read carefully to find the activities to be done in the class, but it provides a wealth of background for the teacher as well.

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).

Virtual reality animation map showing continental drift from 200mya to the present. The animation map is small but effective in showing the positions of the land masses.

Peter J. Haproff explains how it took millions of years and some incredible plate tectonics to forge the continent we know today. [4:57]

In 'The Pangaea Pop-up' Lesson, animator Biljana Labovic decided the best way to illustrate moving, shifting tectonic plates was to use a physical object that could also move and shift. Here, Labovic explains how she and her team of...

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

Students learn how the theory that explains the position of Earth's continents was established and later modified.
