In this video, you will learn about the theory of plate tectonics, including:
-The scientists behind the theory--Alfred Wegener, Marie Tharp, Bruce Heezen, Harry Hess, Fred Vine and Drummond Matthews
-Continental drift
-Pangaea
-Seafloor spreading
-Paleomagnetism
-Plate boundaries--convergent, divergent and transform
-Forces of plate motion--tension, compression and shear
-Faults and fault motion--normal, reverse and strike-slip faults, hanging wall and footwall, fault plane
-An overview of the breakup of Pangaea

A full transcript of the narration in this video is provided to my students on Canvas as a Word document (.doc).

Thanks for watching!

-The magma will lose density as it heats, and gain it again as it cools
-Discrimination in the sciences in terms of gender and race have gone on well before the 1940s, but was especially prevalent in research lab settings during this time. We have a long way to go before any kind of equality is reached in labs around the world!
