Continental Drift Course
This course equips you with key skills in plate tectonics and continental drift. Build reliable plate reconstructions, interpret ancient climates, evaluate resources, and connect historical plate movements to current geology, earthquake dangers, and sedimentary basins. Vital knowledge for geographers and geologists in Namibia and beyond.

What will I learn?
Explore continental drift through a practical guide to plate reconstructions from 300 million years ago to now. Grasp essential plate-tectonic ideas, evidence from paleomagnetism and ocean floors, tools like GPlates and PALEOMAP, plus time-based mapping techniques. Use these skills for studying past climates, finding resources, assessing dangers, and creating solid technical reports with trusted data.
