elaborated
by
the
IGCP
369
research
project
on
peritethyan
paleogeography

This
demonstration
models
the
manner
in
which
the
convection
currents
in
the
mantle
of
the
Earth
cause
movement
of
the
plates.
Convection
currents
in
the
mantle
were
thought,
for
many
years,
to
be
solely
responsible
for
plate
tectonic
movements,
with
the
movement
taking
rocks
down
at
destructive
margins
and
new
rocks
forming
when
plates
spread.
It
is
now
thought
likely
that
there
are
three

This lesson provides students with information about how islands are formed, including a basic knowledge of plate tectonics. Using the islands of Hawaii as an example, students learn about the earth processes that cause the formation of islands over time, including volcanoes and hot spots.

This web-site contains files showing simple cross sections of one or more states in selected North American orogenies (mountain building events). Major structures, elements, and rock units are shown. The orogenies covered here include the Wopmay, Taconic, Acadian, Alleghanian, Palisades, Antler, Ancestral Rockies, Sonoman, Sevier and Laramide.

This site contains 24 questions on the topic of crustal deformation, which covers folding and faulting, rock behavior, geologic structures, and types of stress. This is part of the Principles of Earth Science course at the University of South Dakota. Users submit their answers and are provided immediate feedback.

This
classroom
activity
uses
a
cake
to
demonstrate
geologic
processes
and
introduce
geologic
terms.
Students
will
learn
how
folds
and
faults
occur,
recognize
the
difference
in
behavior
between
brittle
and
ductile
rocks,
and
attempt
to
predict
structures
likely
to
result
from
application
of
various
forces
to
layered
rocks.
They
will
also
attempt
to
interpret
'core
