Geodynamics Seminar, Spring 2001
| Rating: | |
| Type: | Course Related Materials |
Abstract: The Earth's crust is primarily composed of melting products from mantle plumes and mid-ocean ridges - both presently and over the course of Earth history. While both systems represent upwelling features in a convective mantle, they can be viewed as end-member systems in that plumes represent buoyant ... More »
Plate Tectonic Movement Visualizations
| Rating: | |
| Type: | Course Related Materials |
Abstract: This collection provides a wide array of visual resources and supporting material about plate tectonic movements. Visualizations include simple animations, GIS-based animated maps, paleogeographic maps and globes, and numerous illustrations and photos. This collection is not exhaustive but does represent ...
