I created this map to celebrate different types of plate boundaries.

#geology #platetectonics #map #illustration
Eight types of plate boundaries are illustrated. Each type points to a different place on the world map. The world map shows outlines for the plate boundaries.

I've always been fascinated by Earth's interior and how scientists have described their textures. I decided to make my own slice while at @newsela.bsky.social. #geology, #earth, #platetectonics

A graphic illustrating the different layers of Earth and their theorized textures. The inner core is solid. The outer core flows like honey. The mantle is a softer solid. The Asthenosphere is a putty-like solid. The lithosphere is a crumbling solid.

⚒️🍎🧪Merry Christmas!
Check out this episode about a beautiful red and green rock called eclogite. Some people call it 'Christmas rock'. This stuff is a key driver of platetectonics!

I decided to make another, more fun slice of Earth (though probably not the most accurate).
#geology, #earth, #platetectonics, #volcano
A cartoon illustration of a slice of Earth. A volcano sits on top of an inverted pyramid shape with four different layers. The bottom is a solid yellow tip. The second layer is a liquid. The third layer is a red putty. And the top layer represents a solid rocky texture.

Seismic data reveal a tectonic plate breaking apart beneath the Atlantic near Portugal. This marks the first direct observation of oceanic plate delamination.

It was quite a bit of work but it was worth it!!

Some new tectonic plate puzzles ready for my workshops at the Open House Festival in London this weekend 🤩

Now to wash all the paint mess I have made in the process 🥲

About 1.1 billion years ago, tectonic forces nearly split North America from Kansas to Michigan. Though the rift failed, it left a deep scar beneath the Midwest that helps scientists understand how continents evolve.

North America's 'broken heart': The billion-year-old scar from when the continent nearly ripped apart
The Midcontinent Rift is a giant tear that formed in what is now the U.S. Midwest 1.1 billion years ago. Nicknamed North America's "broken heart," it is filled with solidified magma and lava.

A cross section of the magma chamber under Mt. St. Helens and how it interacts with the underlying tectonic plates.

a painting of the magma chamber of Mt. St. Helens. Below the mountain is a tall rocky structure and a cone shaped molten magma chamber. Under the magma chamber shows a green wedge in between two tectonic plates.

In Sacramento, I just felt this earthquake as about 10 seconds of gentle shaking. All safe here. That was a fun one!!!

Gros Morne National Park in Newfoundland important in establishment of plate tectonics & continental drift in the mid-20thC.
These are the Tablelands, which are made up of rocks from the Earth’s Mantle which were pushed to the surface when two tectonic plates collided
