Part I. Plate Tectonics Theory
- 1. Slide 1 Introduction to Global Plate Tectonics Part I. Plate Tectonics Theory Narrated By William Szary Copyright 2013, Earth2Energy Educational Publishing. All Rights Reserved. Earth2Energy is a registered trademark.
- 2. Slide 2 The show can be stopped at any time by right clicking on the slide. A menu appears with options to pause, and resume. To return to any slide as the video advances, pick the slide number from the menu list under that item. When the video begins, clicking on the slide with the Mouse can control the presentation instead.
- 3. Each part addresses plate tectonics in greater detail. The following 3 sections were formatted as separate video presentations: Part II. Paleogeography. Presents global tectonic history through the use of paleogeographic models produced by C. Scotese, as part of the USGS funded PaleoMap Project. Part III. Global Tectonic Evolution. Presents global tectonic evolution through public domain ocean basin maps, and basin tectonic maps published in technical papers. Part III is subdivided into sections. Part IV. Global Tectonic Evolution. Presents global tectonic evolution using continental relief maps, tectonic maps reproduced from published technical papers, and block models published by the National Geographic Society, and by the USGS. Part IV is subdivided into sections.
- 4. Slide 4 The following set of slides provides the User with a set of block models showing basic definitions of terms used to describe plate tectonics. These terms are used throughout Parts II, III, and IV in this video series.
