Earth and Atmospheric Sciences: Structural Geology

Intended for teaching plate tectonics, this online exhibit is readily understandable at all levels.

100 high resolution photographs of structural features ranging from microscopic to aerial photograph scale.Originally A slide set, this collection has converted to a digital images.

Illustrate the plate tectonic development of the ocean basins and continents, as well as the changing distribution of land and sea during the past 1100 million years.

This project collects extensive information about all aspects of plate tectonics.

A wide variety of resources to teach about structural geology. Included are basic information on rocks and rock deformation, folds, faults, shear, structural features, strain, virtual field trips, and rheology.

A collection of hypertext links to assorted structural geology and tectonics resources available on the world-wide web.

An online version of the book by W. Jacquelyne Kious, a writer, and Robert I. Tilling. This very readable book includes historical information about the theory of plate tectonics, plate motions, hotspots, unanswered questions and how plate tectonics impacts people.

The map is designed to show Earth's most prominent features when viewed from a distance, and more detailed features upon closer inspection.

An introduction to continental drift and its discoverer Alfred Wegener, with a short accompanying video.

Background information and news about earthquakes.
