Surf these sites: Exhibit: The Inside Story -- Scientific American. The earth''s dynamic surface is divided into a dozen main crustal plates whose slipping and sliding unleash volcanoes, build mountain ranges and trigger earthquakes. Now researchers have created computer simulations of the earth''s interior that show in vivid detail the churning, convective processes that--literally--rock our world. Geomagnetism -- Information from the British Geological Survey. MARGINS Program -- NSF funded program which tries to understand the complex interplay of processes that govern the evolution of continental margins by a multidisciplinary approach, including seismicity and subduction processes. Patrice Rey''s tectonics page -- This site is dedicated to structural geology, tectonics, geodynamics and petrophysics. It includes lecture notes, virtual field trips, and a collection of slides. Plate Tectonics -- Archive of articles and graphical data related to plate tectonics. Puzzles Of The Earth -- Dedicated to teaching the theory of plate tectonics. Tectonic Park -- Geological results on the northern Tyrrhenian Basin, especially on the Tuscan and Corsican metamorphic core complexes, in structural geology, metamorphic petrology and Ar/Ar radiochronology. The ABC''s of Plate Tectonics -- by D.J. Blanchard. A new analysis of the fundamental principles behind Plate Tectonics. Includes an analysis of buoyancy as applied to isostacy, how rift zones develop, and how the composition and structural properties of continental materials influence continental collisions. This Dynamic Earth -- View of the planet Earth from the USGS.
