Science Time with Brenda Hunda

This month's talk will be on....
"The Plate Tectonic History of North America"

"North America as we know it today is only a recent representation of billions of years of continental evolution, shaped by the forces of plate tectonics, sea level and climate change, and erosion. Geologic events that occur today, such as volcanism and earthquakes, are a direct result of the varied and dynamic history of our continent. The study and understanding of the processes that shape our landscapes are important to preparing ourselves for these natural events in our geologic future."
