Plate Tectonics Explained *SIMPLE and EASY*
The Earth's crust is divided up into tectonic plates that have been slowly moving over millions of years. This movement is caused my convection currents in the mantle. This explains the theory of continental drift, and means that our world will look different in a million years!
This video explains how this movement occurs, what plate boundaries are, and is the foundation for my next video: the different types of plate boundaries.
This is work covered in Geography in key stage 4, year 9 (UK) and grade 10 (SA).

    Thanks for this. I live on the West coast and my chart reads 020E 1999 (7W). So I think I should multiply 7 by 25 and SUBTRACT in this case because the declination is E and the annual correction is W.

    All these jobs require a postgraduate degree which requires a 2. 1 plus lots of money to fund . You can’t just do them with a geography degree. Some of them also require other more specific degrees and a geography degree won’t get you in. I know someone who did town planning and he hates it.

    Qur'an chapter fifty one titled "winds" ,verses two, three and four refer to surface winds first, then the jet stream, and ties the two with distribution, in the following verse. I thought that was amazing.

    You're making me so miserable. My only child emigrated to the UK with his family in 2022 and I'm in my 70s in SA and totally alone. UK won't allow me to join them even if I'm dying and they can afford to support me. I can't understand how millions of students and whole Muslim families get in but not one lonely decent old lady of English heritage. And don't tell me its because of the NH as I could afford to pay for myself.
