The Earth's plates jostle about in fits and starts that are punctuated with earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
There are even indications of large-scale crustal movements that are similar to the plate tectonics of Earth. [#paragraph6]Why is Ganymede different from Callisto? Possibly the small difference in size and internal heating between the two led to this divergence in their evolution. But more ...

Paleontologists have argued for a long time that the demise of the dinosaurs was caused by climatic alterations associated with slow changes in the positions of continents and seas resulting from plate tectonics. Off and on throughout the Cretaceous (the last period of the Mesozoic era, during wh...
Lesson Plan:Here is a great lesson plan keeping track of earthquakes around the world. In this activity, kids keep a record of the location of earthquakes for a week and learn about plate tectonics. Earthquake Experiment:Here is a great experiment that explains how to prepare for an earthquake...

During the Ordovician, plate tectonics caused the land masses to form a supercontinent known as Gondwana. This continent was formed by the landmass ofAfrica, South America, Australia, and Antarctica. After uniting into a single landmass, the newly formed supercontinent gradually drifted southwards thr...

Earth's internal heat, fueled by radioactivity, provides the energy for plate tectonics and continental drift, mountain building, and earthquakes. It can also be harnessed to drive electric generators and heat homes. Geothermal energy becomes available in a practical form when underground heat is tra...
