Earth Science - Evidence and Models of Plate Tectonics

This course on Earth Science focuses on evidence and models of plate tectonics. By the end of the course, learners will understand the changing plates and plate boundaries, Pangea's breakup, future plate tectonics, and various pieces of evidence supporting plate tectonics such as ocean drilling, mantle plumes, paleomagnetism, polar wandering, and magnetic reversals. The course teaches about the forces that drive plate motion using the whole-mantle convection model and the layer cake model. The teaching method includes a 35-minute magnetic field demonstration video. This course is intended for individuals interested in gaining knowledge about plate tectonics and the geological processes shaping the Earth's surface.
