Structure Links


As you complete your notes on the Earth's structure and study cards on tectonics, faults & folds, you might find some of these links useful. Surf a few of the links, see if it makes sense, and try the quiz on Plate Tectonics, and the quiz on Faults & Folds.

Let me know by leaving a comment of there are any broken links and which sites you found most useful. Reminder that leaving comments can be another way for you to contribute to class and work on "Social Responsibility."

September 2006... welcome back for what will be (for most of you) your last year in high school! This blog is for extending what we do in class, providing a place for links and related ideas, and a chance to discuss or participate where we haven't had time to do so in class.
