Plate Tectonics Course
Gain strong knowledge in plate tectonics through practical case studies from places like the East African Rift and San Andreas Fault. Learn to use GPS and seismic data for analysis, connect plate movements to earthquakes and other risks, and create straightforward reports for planning land use and making geologic choices. This builds skills for clear, fact-based communication in earth sciences.

What will I learn?
This course offers a clear, hands-on look at Earth's inner layers, how plates move, and the different boundaries between them. It uses real examples like the San Andreas Fault, Andes Mountains, Himalayas, Mid-Atlantic Ridge, and East African Rift to show these ideas in action. You'll also pick up skills in research methods, finding data sources, and writing reports that communicate evidence clearly, especially for analysing hazards.
