Plate Tectonics
Interactions
- Click the ridge: spreading speeds up for about eight seconds, and the plates, slab, mantle flow, quakes and melt all follow
- Click the slab: a great earthquake ruptures the plate interface and a tsunami crosses the ocean at a speed set by the depth
- Click a volcano: it erupts with ash, bombs and a lava tongue, then settles
- Drag sideways: slide the view along the section from the ridge to the mountains
