Click on the Plate Tectonics Activity at the top next to the cracked egg.
Note: you will need Shockwave installed on your machine in order to see the animations.
There are three diagrams in one.
1. The top diagram shows you a vertical view of the
plate movements.
2. The middle diagram shows a cross-section of what
is going on.
3. The world map shows where on the earth the different
plate movements are occurring. When you click on the top two diagrams the
world map will show you where these movements are occurring.
The movements are
a. Spreading
b. Subduction (Oceanic plate meeting a continental
plate)
c. Collision (Two continental plates)
d. Transform
There are other links that explain each movement in more detail. Check
them out!!!
