United Scientific Supplies Tectonics Model Set

Description

Demonstrates plate tectonic principles, plate boundary interactions, and the geometry/relative motions of faulting of geological layers

• Contains a Fault 3D Model Set (5 Manipulatives) and a Tectonics Sand Layer Model
• Fault Model Set demonstrates normal faulting (extension), reverse faulting (compression), and horizontal slip faulting (shear)
• Tectonics Sand Layer Model explores orogeny of the Appalachian Mountains, including coal formation in the sedimentary Appalachian Basin and its coal seam
• Construct a sand layer model system mimicking a subduction zone of oceanic crust (Juan de Fuca Plate)
• Simulate the creation of the San Andreas Fault
• Includes three hands-on, geoinformation activities for students to work on using metadata (Map the Continental Shelf, Tectonic Plate Movement, Earthquake Prediction)
• Access code is provided to download interactive Teacher and Student Guides, videos, geoinformation data sets, and other resource information
