Maps, exercises and windows allow explorations of specific geologic characteristics and aspects of plate tectonics theory. Uses video, animation and graphics; includes tutorials and case studies of mountain...
Looks at the attempts of scientists to figure out why the earth, a warm place for 200 million years, started to cool, until ice sheets covered Europe and North America to a depth of a mile. They have found...
VC4: Dr Andrew Bell meets scientists at the University of California, Santa Barbara, who have worked on the San Andreas fault. The work includes Professor Brue Luyendyk’s paleomagnetic work and Professor...
Introduces the outcrop geology of the Oman ophiolite. An ophiolite complex is the rock succession created at oceanic spreading ridge, for example at the midi-Atlantic ridge now. Rarely in geological history...
Shows experiments made at the University of London’s Royal Holloway and Bedford New College in order to uderstand the processes that produce the complex and varied patterns of faulting and folding...
Demonstration using animation of the principles of plate tectonics: the movement of lithosphere plates over the past 600 million years, the movement of the plate edges and convection as the motor of these...
Because the European Alps are the result of the most recent period of mountain building, formed within the last 100 million years, the region is often used as a model for the study of orogenic belts....
Evidence for two mountain-building processes: magmatism at continental margins and crustal thickening following continental collision, with the Karakorum geotraverse in the Himalayas as example. Discusses...
Sea floor spreading and the theory of plate tectonics is now widely accepted, buy why continental plates split as they do to form new ocean basins is still unknown. Most early evidence of splitting in the...
