Fri., May 9, 2008 - The PLATES Project
Site found in:
1 December 2007 Earth Science Sites of the Week
------
THE PLATES PROJECT, The University of Texas Institute for Geophysics, (submitted by Virginia Malone, consultant, Hondo, TX), scroll down to the movies to download PowerPoint animation slide shows for plate movement. I like “Texas Though Time” the best, but I might be a bit biased. There are other slide shows. The good thing about having this on PowerPoint is you can easily stop and view each slide or use the slides independently. “The PLATES Project is a program of research into plate tectonic and geologic reconstructions. It is supported by a consortium of oil companies.
