Get an overview of all the tectonic plates that make up the earth's crust. The colorful contrasting and labeled plate boundaries make this an excellent resource.

Discusses the regional metamorphic zones in Nova Scotia, Canada, and the geological processes that caused them to form. Regional metamorphism happens deep within the Earth's crust and eventually, the buried rocks are exposed, usually due...

Learn how krill fight for survival as the sea ice melts and the population decreases. Discover how krill relate to our food chain and learn about their development.

Learn more about earthquakes as well as plate tectonics. Site offers links to current quakings as well as earthquake science, teacher lessons, interactives, and earthquake history.

Students studying plate tectonics will better understand its concepts with this virtual experiment that tests how plates move on the surface of the earth. Temperature, composition, and thickness of plates can be changed to create new...

Study the subject of erosion including water, wind, and glacial erosion, fun facts, human causes, and controlling it on this site.

In this interactive lesson you will learn about the theory of plate tectonics and the three types of plate boundaries that are responsible for Earth's geologic features.

Situated on the west coast of the island of Newfoundland, the park provides a rare example of the process of continental drift, where deep ocean crust and the rocks of the earth's mantle lie exposed. More recent glacial action has...

Did you know that gold is extraterrestrial? Instead of arising from our planet's rocky crust, it was actually cooked up in space and is present on Earth because of cataclysmic stellar explosions called supernovae. CERN Scientist David...
