NASA's Space Place in a SNAP! - Tectonic Forces

Submitted by Laura Guertin on Tue, 08/19/2014 - 7:38am

NASA's Space Place in a SNAP! is a series of quick, narrated tours of animated infographics that illustrate key science concepts. Not only are they fun and entertaining on their own, they also come with a downloadable poster and a transcript of the video, making for a cross-disciplinary learning experience. There was once a time when you could take a stroll from North or South America to Africa no problem. There was no ocean to get in the way, because all of Earth’s continents were stuck together in one massive supercontinent called Pangea. How is this possible? And how did the continents get to where they are today? The latest "Space Place in a SNAP!" animation and poster combination tackles this fascinating question. Check it out today!  http://spaceplace.nasa.gov/tectonics-snap/en/ [1]
