Plate Tectonics in action

Duration: 2:31
Updated: 25 Oct 2010

This animation shows the evolution of Earth's continents through the history of macro-scale animal life on Earth, starting in the middle of the Ediacaran period, some 600 million years ago. The animation was constructed by ARC Science Simulations, and represents the current body of knowledge of Geological thinking. The maps utilise accurate data sets of the former location, scale and of Earth's continents using a variety of methods, including palaeomagnetism, stratigraphy, geological mapping and radioisotopic dating of the rocks themselves. This is how Earth very likely looked in the geological past (don't forget - uncertainties increase back in time for ANY investigation). Other animations you may see elsewhere on the Internet, such as the 'expanding earth' animations by Neal Adams are NOT supported by continent palaeomagnetism, or any other aspect of Geology, and are in fact contradicted by it. These expanding Earth animations represent a very early attempt explain the similarities of the outlines of the continents in the late 1800s and early 1900s, when there was very little data available to Earth scientists and Geology was a young science. The expanding Earth animations are highly fanciful works of art, and have no scientific value, and ignore very important aspects of continental geology when they attempt to reconstruct (for example) the Pacific Ocean being completely closed. If expanding Earthers used any real geology in their reconstructions, they would realise that many of the parts of the coast of Western North America, for example, didn't exist. They were islands off the coast, but slammed into the Americas as the ocean floor they sat upon subducted beneath the continents. This type of information is represented in the above animation, and you can see this displayed beautifully at the start, where curved arcs of volcanic islands get squeezed between and incorporated into, colliding continents. The music is 'Big Ship' by Brian Eno. Read more about the debunked expanding Earth hypothesis and other pseudoscience on www.science-wars.com

Plate Tectonics (The Fiery Birth of planet Earth) - Construction and Deconstruction of Continents

Order: Reorder
Duration: 49:20
Updated: 09 Jun 2015

The crash of the Indian plate into Asia is the biggest known collision in geological history, and it continues today. The result is the Himalaya and Karakoram - one of the largest mountain ranges on Earth. The Karakoram has half of the world's highest mountains and a reputation as being one of the most remote and savage ranges of all. In this beautifully illustrated book, Mike Searle, a geologist at the University of Oxford and one of the most experienced field geologists of our time, presents a rich account of the geological forces that were involved in creating these mountain ranges. Using his personal accounts of extreme mountaineering and research in the region, he pieces together the geological processes that formed such impressive peaks. Continental collision is a phenomenon of the plate tectonics of Earth that occurs at convergent boundaries. Continental collision is a variation on the fundamental process of subduction, whereby the subduction zone is destroyed, mountains produced, and two continents sutured together. Continental collision is known only from this planet and is an interesting example of how our different crusts, oceanic and continental, behave during subduction. Continental collision is not an instantaneous event, but may take several tens of millions of years before the faulting and folding caused by collision stop. Collision between India and Asia has been going on for about 50 million years already and shows no signs of abating. Collision between East and West Gondwana to form the East African Orogen took about 100 million years from beginning (610 Ma) to end (510 Ma). Collision between Gondwana and Laurasia to form Pangea occurred in a relatively brief interval, about 50 million years long. The process begins as two continents (different bits of continental crust), separated across a tract of ocean (and oceanic crust), approach each other, while the oceanic crust is slowly consumed at a subduction zone. The subduction zone runs along the edge of one of the continents and dips under it, raising volcanic mountain chains at some distance behind it, such as the Andes of South America today. Subduction involves the whole lithosphere, the density of which is largely controlled by the nature of the crust it carries. Oceanic crust is thin (~6 km thick) and dense (about 3.3 g/cm³), consisting of basalt, gabbro, and peridotite. Consequently, most oceanic crust is subducted easily at an oceanic trench. In contrast, continental crust is thick (~45 km thick) and buoyant, composed mostly of granitic rocks (average density about 2.5 g/cm³). Continental crust is subducted with difficulty, but is subducted to depths of 90-150 km or more, as evidenced by ultra-high pressure (UHP) metamorphic suites. Normal subduction continues as long as the ocean exists, but the subduction system is disrupted as the continent carried by the downgoing plate enters the trench. Because it contains thick continental crust, this lithosphere is less dense than the underlying asthenospheric mantle and normal subduction is disrupted. The volcanic arc on the upper plate is slowly extinguished. Resisting subduction, the crust buckles up and under, raising mountains where a trench used to be. The position of the trench becomes a zone that marks the suture between the two continental terranes. Suture zones are often marked by fragments of the pre-existing oceanic crust and mantle rocks, known as ophiolites.

Nature of Earth: An Introduction to Geology Course No. 1700 (36 lectures, 30 minutes/lecture) Taught by John J. Renton West Virginia University Ph.D., West Virginia University The of drama geology is all around you. Have you ever been to Yellowstone National Park? If so, you have stood on a catastrophe in the making. The central region of the park is inside a collapsed volcanic crater that pulses with the hidden energy of magma deep below that will eventually explode in an eruption surpassing any in recorded history. Or have you ever driven in the rolling hills of the Piedmont region that extends from New Jersey to Alabama? Then you have crossed the core of an ancient mountain range that once rivaled the Himalayas. Now almost completely eroded away, these peaks were created 300 million years ago in the collision of tectonic plates that formed the supercontinent of Pangaea. Or have you ever noticed something as simple as tipped fence posts or leaning retaining walls? If so, then you have witnessed one of the most powerful and irresistible agents of geologic change, the ubiquitous force of gradual erosion called mass wasting.

Plate Tectonics - Old Ceremony

Top Old Ceremony, Plate Tectonics

Underground, beneath our feet the Earth collides
shelves collapse into the sea and mountains rise
If you look around you’ll see
the same thing is happening to you and me
There’s no way to stop it
Plate Tectonics
The continents, they split apart and drifted to sea
and soon we couldn’t understand the language they speak
wars were fought and battles lost
for reasons that were soon forgot and buried
There’s no way to stop it
Plate Tectonics
Well high and proud upon our sleeves
our hearts were sewn
but cracks appeared beneath the ground
where we built our home
and still we hold each others hands
but we are torn apart by the land
same thing is happening to you and me
There’s no way to stop it
