Understanding Plate Tectonics

In this video, we explore plate tectonics, including a look at convergent, divergent, and transform plate boundaries and what happens at each one.

This is by far the best example that plate tectonic can be explained in simple terms.

My teacher made us watch this in class, but when I watched it at home, I got a way way better understanding of this at home. Thank you.

Hi Michael! I wanted to take a moment to thank you for all your excellent Geology videos. They have been a huge help in teaching the subject, especially the theory of plate tectonics, and are far better quality than any others I've seen on YouTube. Awesome work!

There is an excellent book called Tectonic Processes, cannot remember who by. It is mainly where I learned about plate Tectonics a few decades ago. But all of the essentials in a twelve minute video, so succinctly and intellegently delivered is nothing short of a masterpiece, thank you so much, really enjoyed that refresher.

You are such life safer
I have exam of geology next Tuesday
And you saved me tons of hours to study and memorize my notes

who else is here watching because the teacher gives to watch it

[ireneyoung]

For an amateur like me, interested in geology, These lessons are the greatest.Thankyou.

I always let my students watch this as I teach geology in Iceland. Its good English to understand and the moving convergent pictures are great. Thank you very much.

I really like your physical geography videos. I keep using them in my classes. Thanks a lot for sharing.

I got to watch this video while I am studying TOEFL geology part, which made me crazy, and you helped me fully understand plate tectonics and hot spots with an easy explanation and amazing corresponding animations! Thank you so

[sagarkumargupta]

Informative and intelligible content. Thank you.

[TheSpringwater]

The best video I have found on plate tectonics. Thank you.

Everything is perfectly presented.
Clarity, simple English defining the words, the flow charts and maps perfectly illustrated.
Thanks a lot for the knowledge. 👍

Love how you've explained the theories - both this one and continental drift. Thank you for doing these :-)

[theSisBroChannel]

i'm actually watching your vids to prepare me for a geology olympic. So thank you so much for making these high quality vids.

One of the best lectures for studying types of plate boundary with real examples
