The Geological Society of London revamped their website a couple of months ago or so. It's basically the same site as before,
but better organised and with a much nicer layout and design. Thumbs up for this!.
One
of the things I like the most is the "Online plate tectonics" site,
aimed to students aged 14 - 16 (I personally think any person will enjoy
it, at any age). The site starts with an interactive introduction to
the distribution of plate boundaries, volcanoes and earthquakes. It has also sections on the pioneers of
plate tectonics, explanations about the geochemical and geomechanical
properties of plates, and how the plate tectonics have shaped the
geography of the United Kingdom. It also counts with tests and glossary
areas, where the young visitor can check their knowledge and find
answers to their questions.The teachers also have their area, with indications and guidelines.
A
great initiative for kids, teachers and general public alike. It
doesn't matter how much you know about plate tectonics, you will like
this site and you will bookmark it!
