The show can be stopped at any time by right clicking on the slide. A menu appears with options to pause, and resume. To return to any slide as the video advances, pick the slide number from the menu list under that item.
When the video begins, clicking on the slide with the Mouse can control the presentation instead.

Each part addresses plate tectonics in greater detail. The following 3 sections were formatted as separate video presentations: Part I. Plate Tectonics Theory Presents tectonic theory using a set of models extracted from National Geographic Society maps, and from USGS plate tectonic models. Part II. Paleogeography. Presents global tectonic history through the use of paleogeographic models produced by C. Scotese, as part of the USGS funded PaleoMap Project. Part III. Global Tectonic Evolution.

Presents global tectonic evolution through public domain ocean basin maps, and basin tectonic maps published in technical papers. Part III is subdivided into sections.

Slide 4

This presentation addresses paleogeographic reconstructions which present the shifting of continents around the globe, beginning with the Precambrian Era, leading up into the Cenozoic Era.
