The interactive world map can be toggled to show the different types of tectonic plate boundaries and their locations, as well as the global distribution of volcanoes and earthquakes (Geological Society of London 2019).

The earth's crust is split up into dozens of pieces called tectonic plates, which ʺfloatʺ on top of the mantle (7 minutes / USA: Brain POP 2020).

Created by Geology.com, the site’s materials are organized into nine thematic areas. These areas include ”Volcanoes”, ”Water”, ”Weather”, ”Erosion”, and ”Plate Tectonics” (2011).

How can we determine the locations of tectonic plate boundaries?  How can we use seismic waves to pinpoint the epicenter of an earthquake?  In this activity, students will explore these questions using seismic data and triangulation (USA: California Academy of Sciences 2023).

Step-by-step instructions for using Earth system science datasets and scientific analysis tools. Chapters include ”Analyzing the Antarctic Ozone Hole,” ”Climate History from Deep Sea Sediments,” and ”Evidence for Plate Tectonics” (Carleton College, USA 2012)
