About this title

Synopsis

Students travel around the world to investigate evidence for the theory of plate tectonics. Through constructing classroom models of erupting volcanoes, strike-slip faults, rock layers, and submerged mountaint ranges, students are able to compare geological phenomena and structures in Hawaii, California, Iceland, Japan, and Nepal. This complete guide includes all the background information necessary for the teacher and utilizes inexpensive and readily available materials.
