Description

Filmed in Montserrat, Haiti, Iceland and the Alps, this program provides examples and explanations for the processes, features and landforms that occur at different plate margins. It discusses the very latest developments in plate tectonic theory and explores how this has changed over time. The resource then looks in detail at a range of volcanic processes and landforms. Examples are provided of calderas, fissure eruptions and dome, shield and stratocone/composite volcanoes.
