About This Activity
To the left, to the left, to the right, to the right, now subduct, now converge, now slide past, now test it out yourself! Complete the jigsaw puzzle that is the Earth's crust to connect tectonic movement to the features of our planet. Mountains, valleys, continents, and the ocean are always moving to rearrange Earth's appearance. Take a peek at the peaks below the surface using a mask and snorkel to explore how topography is always shifting. Create and manipulate models to visualize how tectonic maneuvers shift the planet's surface over millions of years. Includes: snorkeling, boogieboarding, and scientific modeling.
