Our Changing Continent: An Introduction To Plate Tectonics
http://platetectonics.pwnet.org
This website was designed to support an electronic field trip in 2003. It helps explain the most fundamental concept in earth science: the theory of plate tectonics. Less than 100 years ago, most people thought that the continents were fixed and unmovable. Scientists now know that the continental crust is breaking apart, grinding together, and colliding creating earthquakes, volcanoes, and mountain ranges. Learn more about the cause of these events.

The Chesapeake Meteorite: Message From the Past
http://meteor.pwnet.org
Approximately 35 million years ago, a rock from space, more than a mile wide, and traveling at nearly 70,000 miles a hour, crashed into the Atlantic Ocean off North America. Moving at this supersonic speed, the asteroid or comet splashed through hundreds of feet of water and thousands of feet of mud and rock. For millions of years, the sixth largest crater on Earth lay buried in the southern part of what is now the Chesapeake Bay. Today we have begun to understand not only the science, but also the consequences of such a cataclysmic event, thanks to the ongoing scientific investigative research by scientists of the United States Geological Survey. This website offers more insight into the earth-changing event.
