This is a highlight preview of the X-Science - Plate Tectonics video. X-Science is a new high impact and effective science educational series. 225 Million years ago, all of the continents of today were a single landmass or super continent known as Pangaea. How is it that our world became the way it is today? Plate tectonics is a theory that has revolutionized our understanding of the Earth. The theory unified many distinct branches of science that study the Earth, including paleontology and seismology. Together, these branches have provided answers to questions about the continents, earthquakes, volcanoes, and mountain ranges. In 1912 Alfred Wegener developed a theory called, the continental drift. His theory contends that earth's 20 different known plates are not in a fixed position but, in fact, have drifted apart over many years. One hypothesis that scientists accepted is the idea that the seafloor is spreading and how this can account for the movements of the continents as well as the changes in the size of the oceans. As scientists learn more and more about plate tectonics and the movement of the plates, perhaps we can develop ways to predict or prevent natural catastrophes that these destructive forces cause.

The Cascadia Subduction Zone is used as the example. An area where the Juan de Fuca plate is being subducted under the North American Plate.

wonkroom.thinkprogress.org In an Earth Day hearing, Secretary of Energy Steven Chu was forced to explain to Rep. Joe Barton (R-TX) how oil is found in the Arctic. Chu and other administration officials are testifying today before the House Committee on Energy and Commerce, where Barton is the top Republican. BARTON: Dr. Chu, I don't want to leave you out. You're our scientist. I have one simple question for you in the last six seconds. How did all the oil and gas get to Alaska and into the Arctic Ocean? CHU: (Laughter.) This is a complicated story but oil and gas is the result of hundreds of millions of years of geology and in that time also the plates have moved around. And so, it's a combination of where the sources of the oil and gas ... BARTON: Isn't it obvious that at one time it was a lot warmer in Alaska and on the North Pole? It wasn't a big pipeline that we've created from Texas and shipped it up there and put it under ground so we can now pump it up and ship it back? CHU: No, there are continental plates that have been drifting around throughout the geological ages. BARTON: So it just drifted up there. CHU: Uh.... That's certainly what happened. It's a result of things like that. WAXMAN: The gentleman's time has expired. The driving force for Alaskas oil formation during the Triassic era 200 million years ago, according to University of Alaska geologist Mark Rivera, is plate tectonics, which is the unifying theory of geology.

Science On a Sphere® is a large visualization system that uses computers and video projectors to display animated data onto the outside of a sphere. Said another way, SOS is an animated globe that can show dynamic, animated images of the atmosphere, oceans, and land of a planet. NOAA primarily uses SOS as an education and outreach tool to describe the environmental processes of Earth. This video shows a short piece of Earth's tectonic evolution.

The uneven heating also controls weather systems. The heat absorbed by the oceans and carried by its currents is constantly being released into the atmosphere. This heat and moisture drive atmospheric circulation and set weather patterns in motion. The weather patterns then influence vegetation, as well as erosion and sediment transport. Ever since the first photos were sent back from space, our view of Earth has changed. Remote sensing instruments, such as satellites, allow us to better understand the interrelationships between the different subsystems. For instance, recordings made by remote and Earth-based instruments show that significant surface warming has occurred over the past three decades. Knowing this, scientists are working to determine how this will affect ? and already is affecting ? the entire Earth system. astronomy. + Informações
