Introduction to Global Plate Tectonics Part IIIC continues the ocean basins geologic histories with a presentation on the Philipine Plate, Indian Ocean, and the Wharton Basin. This is the third and final part of a three part series on the geologic history of the oceans. Parts III A & B were previously posted on Slideshare.com.
