Chapter 8: Animation of Plate Tectonics

Dear Gentlemen,

Click the link below and explore the website for different animations of the different processes taught in class already so as to better understand and visualize what is taught already. =)

Chapter 8: Internal Structure and forces that create landforms

Dear Gentlemen,

Below are the videos I showed in class today to better let you visualize and know what are geographical concepts and ideas of this chapter. Do look through the videos again as revision and get a better understanding of the many new geographical concepts introduced.

Video on the Internal Structure of the Earth

Video on the Early Earth (The idea of supercontinent Pangaea, Laurasia and Gondwandaland)

Video on the concept of Plate Tectonics Theory, Continental Drift, plate boundaries(constructive & destructive) and the different internal forces (Push, Pull and Slide)

How convection currents work in the Continental Drift Theory (To cause plates to push, pull and slide with each other)

Eruption of Kilauea Volcano (In Hawaii, which is mentioned in the "How volcanoes form" video above, where hotspots were introduced and that volcanoes at hotspots form due to the loose rocks rising up from the core to the crust)

Remember to label the different plates on your notes and also know where fold mountains can be found on the world map!
