Earth's Plate Techtonics

We live on a very dynamic planet. Immense forces are tearing our continents apart, shoving them together, and grinding them past one another. We ride the plates as passengers on a rocky road. Spouting volcanoes, earthquakes and tsunamis are part of the scenery. Geologist Bob Raynolds and Ka Chun Yu, curator of space science, will take you on a world-wide tour to see some of the perils that we and our fellow passengers are facing.
