1 lut 2017 · Map showing the plate tectonic setting off the coast of Washington. The Juan de Fuca plate is slowly moving toward and subducting underneath the North American plate.
Explore the tectonic plates and boundaries on a global map using ArcGIS. Learn how plate tectonics affects earthquakes, volcanoes, and landforms.
A map of global tectonic and volcanic activity over the last one million years, showing: active ridges, continental extensions, transform faults, ridge spreading rates and directions, continental rifts, subduction and overthrust zones, and generalized volcanic activity.
20 cze 2024 · an opening in the Earth's crust, through which lava, ash, and gases erupt, and also the cone built by eruptions. Earth’s lithosphere is made up of a series of plates that “float” on the mantle. Explore them with MapMaker, National Geographic's classroom interactive mapping tool.
Instructions: Set one of the two positions (A or B) to adjust. These points are the beginning and end position for the animation. Each land mass can be adjusted by modifying their x, y, and z axis rotation (this can be tedious). You may drag the earth to see different views.
14 cze 2004 · An image of the Earth's major tectonic plates, with the plate boundary types indicated. A combined image of the Earth's plates, plate boundaries, and ocean bathymetry. This image shows the topography of the oceans bottom as a false-color relief map.
19 paź 2023 · Geologists studying the Earth use scientific observation and evidence to construct a picture of what the Earth looked like at different periods in the geologic past. Use this map gallery to better understand how plate tectonics created the ocean and continents we are familiar with today.
