3. Each part addresses plate tectonics in greater detail. The following
sections were formatted as separate video presentations:
Part I. Plate Tectonics Theory
Presents tectonic theory using a set of models extracted from
National Geographic Society maps, and from USGS plate tectonic
models.
Part II. Paleogeography.
Presents global tectonic history through the use of paleogeographic
models produced by C. Scotese, as part of the USGS funded
PaleoMap Project.
Part III. Global Tectonic Evolution.
Presents global tectonic evolution through public domain ocean basin
maps, and basin tectonic maps published in technical papers. Part III is
subdivided into sections.

4.  This presentation addresses paleogeographic
reconstructions which present the shifting of
continents around the globe, beginning with
the Precambrian Era, leading up into the
Cenozoic Era.
