2. Observe animations of processes that occur along plate boundaries (transform, convergent and diverging) or
3. Seafloor Activity Sheds Light on Plate Tectonics - Scientists in Japan study stress released by oceanic earthquakes in newborn sections of seafloor
4. Seafloor Spreading - Seafloor spreading is a geologic process in which large slabs of Earth's lithosphere split apart from each other
5. Seafloor Spreading - (13:46) video from YouTube
6. What is a Hotspot? - Two animations explore hotspot volcanism from both a plate-tectonic perspective and as a single-island history
