Northeast Pacific and Western North American Plate Tectonic History, animation
Shows the plate tectonic history of the northeast Pacific and western North America, 38 million years ago to Present (stable North America held fixed). Includes the breakup and piecewise subduction of the Farallon plate and the consequent development of the San Andreas plate boundary. http://emvc.geol.ucsb.edu/2_infopgs/IP4WNACal/bNEPacWNoAmer.html

Plate Tectonic Evolution of North America - Scotese Animation
This animation shows the plate tectonic and paleogeographic evolution of North America from 200 million years ago to the present-day. North America was originally part of thee supercontinent of Pangea. About 200 million years ago, Pangea rifted apart. To the east of North America, the Central Atlantic opened. About 150 million years ago, South America rifted away from North America opening the Gulf of Mexico.

North America | PLATE TECTONICS | Geography | Lithosphere | San Andreas Fault
North America's continental crust started to form 4 billion years ago and then began large-scale motion. The lithosphere, which is the rigid outermost shell of our planet, is broken into tectonic plates. Where the Earth’s plates meet, their relative movement cause earthquakes, volcanic activity, mountain-building, and oceanic trench formation along these plate boundaries or faults. One such boundary is the continental San Andreas Fault that extends roughly 1200 kilometers or 750 miles through California. It forms the tectonic boundary between the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate, and its horizontal motion produces earthquakes and the popular fanciful notion that the California coast will one day be swallowed up by the ocean. Actually, geologic and scientific evidence predict that...

Plate Movement: 200 Million Years Ago to Present Day | California Academy of Sciences
Witness how Earth's forces have shaped the continents—from millions of years ago to present day.
Today’s configuration of continents is dramatically different than it was in the past. See how plate tectonics built and fragmented supercontinents—land masses made of multiple continents merged together—over the past 200 million years.

How North America Almost Separated Into Two Pieces
It's hard to believe, but did you know North America almost split itself in two? 1.1 billion years ago, the land almost separated into two halves— and had it succeeded, there would now be an ocean where Lake Superior is! Learn all about this crazy separation with Hank in a new episode of SciShow!

Will the Cascadia Earthquake be the Worst Disaster North America’s Ever Seen? | Weathered
PBS Member Stations rely on viewers like you. To support your local station, go to: http://to.pbs.org/DonateTerra.
↓ More info below ↓
The Cascadia Subduction Zone is a sleeping monster lurking just off the Northwest coast of the United States. It extends 600 miles between Northern California and Vancouver B.C. and experiences a massive megathrust earthquake every 250 years on average. The last one happened 321 years ago and scientists say there is a 30% chance we’ll see another in the next 50 years. It’s expected to rival the 9.0 quake that shook Japan for 6 minutes, which was the most destructive natural disaster in human history. It unleashed a tsunami that reached 100 feet in some areas, caused an estimated $360 billion in damages and claimed some 16,000 lives.
If this sounds ominou...

Back-to-Back Earthquakes Rattle San Francisco Bay Area Is a Bigger One Coming
Two earthquakes in just 72 hours have shaken the San Francisco Bay Area, leaving residents on edge. The latest magnitude 3.7 quake struck near Pleasant Hill, following another tremor earlier in the week. Are these back-to-back quakes connected? Could they be a sign of something larger brewing beneath California’s iconic landscape? In this video, we break down the science behind the seismic activity, explore the risks posed by the Hayward and San Andreas Faults, and discuss what experts are saying about the possibility of a major earthquake. Stay informed and prepared as we uncover the truth behind these unsettling tremors.

North America's continental crust started to form 4 billion years ago and then began large-scale motion. The lithosphere, which is the rigid outermost shell of our planet, is broken into tectonic plates. Where the Earth’s plates meet, their relative movement cause earthquakes, volcanic activity, mountain-building, and oceanic trench formation along these plate boundaries or faults.

It forms the tectonic boundary between the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate, and its horizontal motion produces earthquakes and the popular fanciful notion that the California coast will one day be swallowed up by the ocean. Actually, geologic and scientific evidence predict that, far from falling into the sea, Los Angeles will one day be adjacent to San Francisco.

The Cascadia Subduction Zone is a sleeping monster lurking just off the Northwest coast of the United States. It extends 600 miles between Northern California and Vancouver B.C. and experiences a massive megathrust earthquake every 250 years on average. The last one happened 321 years ago and scientists say there is a 30% chance we’ll see another in the next 50 years. It’s expected to rival the 9.0 quake that shook Japan for 6 minutes, which was the most destructive natural disaster in human history. It unleashed a tsunami that reached 100 feet in some areas, caused an estimated $360 billion in damages and claimed some 16,000 lives.
If this sounds ominous, that’s because it is. As catastrophic as the Tohoku quake was, Japan is light years ahead of the United States when it comes to earthquake preparedness. This grim reality has many experts very worried. And in this episode of Weathered we spoke with some of them about what we can expect when the “Big One” does hit, the kinds of work that need to be done to make our communities more resilient, and what you can do to keep yourself and your loved ones safe.
Weathered is a show hosted by meteorologist Maiya May and produced by Balance Media that helps explain the most common natural disasters, what causes them, how they’re changing, and what we can do to prepare.
