[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Describes Wegener's continental drift hypothesis and his evidence for it.

Working in pairs, students think like engineers and connect what they understand about the theory of plate tectonics to the design of structures for earthquake-resistance.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] How Wegener's hypothesis of continental drift was refined.

Discover Alfred Wegner's ideas relating to continental drift and seafloor spreading which are both evidence to the concept of plate tectonics.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] The history of plate tectonics past and future.

Resource presents the basics of plate tectonics, as well as a summary of the current thinking about plate tectonics and its mechanisms.

Using the skills of a paleontologist, students are asked to match up lecturers with what day and time they teach, and how many students they have based on clues given from several different perspectives. In the second part of the...

In this interactive tutorial you will learn about the theory of continental drift and why it was ultimately rejected. Then learn about the theory of plate tectonics and the evidence to support it. Lastly discover the types of boundaries...

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.
