The Evidence for Plate Tectonics

In less than 12 minutes, I summarize the major pieces of evidence
we have for the theory of Plate tectonics.  I cover shape of
continents, mountain and ages of rocks, earthquakes, volcanoes,
trenches and mid-ocean ridges, ages of the seafloor, patterns of
magnetic anomalies, apparent polar wandering curves and hot spot
volcanoes.

If you want a summary of the theory - you can find a podcast
episode that covers the theory here.

If you want a booklet covering the theory and evidence, check out
this one - its great idea as a class set.

And finally, if you are looking for activities for students on
Plate tectonics, then see what we have in our Member Resources
page.
