What will I learn?
The Plate Tectonics Course delivers a concise, practice-focused overview of Earth’s internal structure, plate mechanics, and boundary types, then applies them to real-world case studies like the San Andreas Fault, Andes, Himalayas, Mid-Atlantic Ridge, and East African Rift. You will also learn research methods, data sources, and report-writing skills for clear, evidence-based communication and hazard-focused analysis.
Elevify advantages
