Just as an idea, you might follow up with the very spiffy physics and engineering that let us establish the velocity of convection currents in the mantle using seismographic equipment. As long as I'm bothering Henry about it, I may as well bother you, too. Loving your most recent material!

Elliott Collins Yes, plate tectonics is used to try to explain away the evidence of the global flood and that argument fails miserably.

You kind of made it seem as if the ocean crust dives under continental crust because continental crust is thicker. It would have been nice to hear that the ocean crust is far denser, and when it pushes up against continental crust, the denser material is forced under. Nitpicking point, and a great video overall.

Too add as well, usually you'd find more volatile volcanic activity at these subduction zones due to the crust displacing magma and forcing it upwards to eventually for composite volcanoes.

I heard that super-continents are actually bad news for life. Seas and oceans act as climate moderators, so we experience moderate climate. Super continents on the other hand will bring in extreme weather (i.e. extremely cold winters and scorching hot summers). But this is stock knowledge, so I'm not so sure. :/

I did not expect to learn something new here as I thought I had a pretty solid handle on how this all worked. I was (as is often the case with videos produced by Henry Reich) wrong. You should watch this, I'm sure you'll learn SOMETHING

This is a really really well explained video, thank you so much!! the way you described the mechanics of how it all works is the best that I have ever heard.

Really informative! Thank you for putting this simple but very educational video together.

oooh..... so thats why i didnt pass geography. youre a better teacher than my teacher.

Thought I was gonna bomb a quiz before this thanks boo 💓💓 Edit: um I watched this 87 times 😂😂

Not me being here because the link on my school’s assignment doesn’t work so I had to search it up 👁👄👁

That's so cool! There's a lot of interesting information here to build what we already know (or think we know) about tectonic plates!

You know what is the weirdest feeling? When you watch a video in school, then watch it at home. That is what I did with this.

I’m using this vid for a science report but I’m home schooled:)

We spent 2 weeks on this in school. This 2 minute video has made me learn more than those 2 weeks ever did.

Was looking for a video about tectonics. Didnt find anyone especially good... except for this one! Very pedagogic, awesome. I only wish it was longer. :) Cheers!

Tell me Im not the only one doing this for one of those stupid online lab thingsn in science class ._.

I read the title thinking "Yeah I already know that from when I did it in school." but there were still things here I didn't know. Come to think of it, it may have something to do with my geography teacher being absent through-out all of year 10 and getting a cover teacher instead.

Man, I searched about this in about 3~ 4 books, It was all getting over my head. I couldn't understand that if tectonic plates moves then how the hell continents can merge and devide, But a simple example of conveyer belt solved it all in second ❤️ thanks a lot

The thinner plate doesn't sink. it's the denser plate that sinks. The oceanic crust is denser than the continental crust and that is why we see trenches only underwater.

What happened to stop motion marker animation? Cool video nonetheless.

shist thats gneis Geologists yay! I just like to mention, cause its easily misunderstood when talking about "flowing" plates etc. The mantel is not liquid, only the outer core is liquid, the rest is solid. Tho every medium has some viscosity to it wich makes the "flow" possible.

*This is completely false.* Plate tectonics are a secondary effect of expert teams of geologists going into the mantle using nuclear powered trains made out of a material that converts heat energy into structural strength, headed by a laser/vibration generator that will liquefy and blast away rock in front of the train. Once the train is deep enough, a series of thermonuclear bombs are released and timed precisely as to cause a massive wave that keeps the core spinning at precisely the right speed. Please next time don't spread ignorance around, every serious geologist knows this. In fact its even hidden in most books about this: "most of the energy in the earth's core is generated through nuclear fission". Next time do your research and do it right.

Jacob Furrow Well really for a Hollywood movie it had a good bit of physics, I mean the fundamental idea of generating a spin flow of the core with precisely timed warheads isn't completely out of town if you believe in the current most widely accepted theory on the nature of the earth's inner structure which is sadly taught as a fact while really it's just a theory much like a lot of other things in today's scientific community. I watched the movie when I was about 12 or 13 and haven't watched it since so I can't tell you for the corniness, but at least its a good Hollywood movie for children interested in science. I just found a really good movie on youtube by the way on crime and gangs, its quite beautiful, sort of like American history X for black gangs (which if you haven't watched, you should, it will really move you), just type South Central 1992 HD 1080P FULL on youtube, and give feedback if you do check it out.

That was one of the cutest little videos I've ever watched. I definitely understand plate tectonics now

two points: 1. oceanic crust (basaltic) goes under the continental crust (granitic) because it's denser, not because it's thinner. 2. Google Earth is either upside down according to its rotational direction OR it's spinning in the wrong direction if the orientation of its axis was intentionally placed with the South Pole in the "up" position.

this really helped me, Thank You!!

Great video! Very cute drawing. I wish you made this video in my freshman year taking intro to geology. I would've appreciated the subject more. And also I would've loved it if you added something more about how converging plates can create mountains and volcanoes, and how diverging plates create new crust material on the ocean floor. Other than that this video is awesomely cute.

this video came out literally right after i began learning about this in my earth sciences course lol what a coincidence!!! Thanks!!

Great video!!!!! I am in school and learning science, I am definitely going to start watching these. Very cute and helpful!!!!! 💖🥰 Grabs my attention very well.

I literally just learned about this in school and already took extensive notes on it and only missed one question on a 30 or so question test, but I want to write really fancy aesthetic notes on the topic because I'm bored, so I'm watching this to do it because I don't have my binder with all of my papers and stuff in it

Plain and simple. Love it.

I spent too much of my life understanding the process, but unable to visualize. Thank you! This knowledge feels much more grounded in reality now. (No pun intended)

I was never taught this! I only ever learned the simplified version. Pretty cool.

super job. A bit fast, but really liked it. I will show this to my 7th grade science students. :) My favorite part was the crust breaking off.. and the suction.. and the continents ARE baggage. Do more!
