Plate Tectonics Course
Gain strong knowledge in plate tectonics through practical examples from places like the East African Rift and San Andreas Fault. Learn to use GPS, seismic data, and other tools to study plate movements. Develop skills to analyse hazards like earthquakes and tsunamis, and write straightforward reports linking geology to planning and safety decisions in everyday settings.

What will I learn?
This course offers a clear, hands-on look at Earth's inner makeup, how plates move, and the kinds of boundaries they form. It uses real examples like San Andreas Fault, Andes Mountains, Himalayas, Mid-Atlantic Ridge, and East African Rift. You'll pick up ways to do research, find data, and write reports that explain things simply with solid proof, especially for spotting hazards.
Elevify advantages
Develop skills
- Analyse plate boundaries: spot divergent, convergent, and transform areas fast.
- Use geophysical data: interpret GPS, seismic, and InSAR to show plate shifts.
- Study tectonics cases: create short reports with sources on major plate features.
- Assess hazards: connect plate actions to quakes, tsunamis, and dangers.
- Write technically: turn hard tectonics ideas into simple, clear summaries.
