People around the world have been reporting strange rumblings beneath them. You have been placed on special assignment to investigate these reports. You will be searching the net to identify locations where the rumblings are occuring and to map out the details to help explain these occurences. Your commander-in-chief will send your orders immediately.
Introduction | Task | Process | Evaluation | Conclusion
You will be completing five missions. At the conclusion of these missions, you will know what is possibly causing these rumblings and be able to predict where more might be forming. With further investigation, you will be able to describe what causes the plates to move, the interactions that occur at plate boundaries, how Wegener and Hess contributed to our current plate theory, and what evidence there is to support this theory.

Stay tuned for a special announcement from your commander.......
Congratulations special geology agents! You have just introduced your fellow agents to the theory of plate tectonics. Your investigative efforts have only uncovered a small portion of the "big movements". You will be receiving another mission at a later date. Until then take time to relax and gather a little more data about the crustal plates by checking out these websites.
