When the Earth Moves Presentation At Jerome Historic State Park
Plate tectonics is a theory of geology which developed in the 1960s and 1970s, but which has since transformed all of earth science. The theory has revolutionized how we think about earth history. This talk will discuss the fundamentals of the theory in an easy to understand way, and will reveal the history of the theory's development. The talk will answer some of the questions on the basics of plate tectonics. What causes earthquakes? What about volcanoes? Do continents really drift around the globe? Why are some parts of the earth covered by continental land masses and other parts by ocean basins?
