Planet of Man Series -- Jigsaw Fit (30minutes) Host Tuzo Wilson Plate Tectonics - Lesson 4 - Component 1 of 8 •Continental shift ole suggestions -- like ships moving on a oceans •6 significant plates divided into series of plates -- comprised both in land and ocean •Plates slide underneath, beside and overtop one yet another •Andes of South America -- Several ranges of north America -- Mountains of the western pacific and Indonesia -- Wonderful Himalayan belt from Asia to western Europe. •Early recognition of the plates -- seismology was utilised to define narrow belts of earthquake activity. •Earthquake activity followed the boundaries of the plate •Animation of a world map, illustrating the earthquake centers caught by seismological equipment •Also discovered all the active volcanoes had been discovered along these earthquake centers •Development of sonar (soon after WWII) they could now map the ocean floor •What they discovered is enormous mountain ranges, and series of quite deep trenches. • Early 60's they discovered the mid atlantic floor they had been really spreading -- sea floor spreading •Thoughts -- if sea floor is spreading?..then there should be some location where the result of the ...

@15Fashiongirl Come on put it, you better go the fuck back on the banana boat.
@HalfEatenDimSim Shut up !!
This dudee is boring !!!!!!! Agh What planet is he from Lol
is the guy in the beginning missing a tooth?
Find out when next earthquake occurs:
WORLD-EARTHQUAKES . COM
How are earthquakes volcanoes, mountains, sea floor spreading and plate tectonics all related? PLEASE REPLY! I NEED AN ANSWER SOON!
I found this to be a very informative , and enjoyable. very cool
@TheNephewHelix yes. did he predict the earthquake? off by a week if he said it before it happened. not a bad prediction!
@thexmario
Is anybody else floored by this prediction???
@BOYKOILIEV2008
I'm from Chile and it was not in the 3th of March of 2009, indeed we were strucked but it was in the 27th of February of 2010 - 9º ritcher scale - The center of this was Concepcion.
I'm shocked since you told here there was going to be 1 earthquake, 1 year makes a difference yes... but was accurate in the date, except the year.. but you really hit the target
i like the theme
God does, Yer Enlil the mighty. (Sarcasm)
H.A.A.R.P.
That's bulshit. earthquakes happen with convergent plate boundary and Transform fault. Explain me what else makes them
There will be an strong earthquake in Chile on the 3th of March 2009, M6.
The plate tectonic NOT makes the earthquakes.
interesting,..thanks for posting those videos!
hey, doesn't the guy talking sound like "kitt" from "knight rider".
This is Old School...Old school ROcks!!! hehehheheh
I'm glad you like them!... The series has been instrumental in my interest in Earth science. Because of this show, that's why I went into earth science as a career. So I thought, it was only natural to pay homage to the series and get them out of my dusty basement and transfer them digitally.
I am unfortunately missing 3 episodes. If you ever come across anyone that has the complete series too I would interested in contacting them.
