Plate Tectonics: An Introduction

In the early 1900s, most geologists thought that Earth's appearance, including the arrangement of the continents, had changed little since its formation. This video segment, adapted from the "Earth Explorer" episode of Discovering Women, describes the impact the theory of plate tectonics has had on

Origin and springs of the Himalayan mountains

Due to the displacement of tectonic plates, several geological seams were created at the same time when unfolding. The friction of the rock layers generates so much heat that the heated water deep down is pushed up to the surface. Author: ZDF/Terra X/Fascination Earth/C. Götz-Sobel/O. Rötz/M. Zimme

Volcanism in the Andes

The volcanoes of the Andes are particularly explosive. The oceanic plate that dips below the continental one contains a lot of water. The water evaporates in the glowing magma. High pressure is created, which discharges at the Earth's surface in massive volcanoes. Source: https://www.zdf.de/dokumen
