3d Model Tectonic Plate Animation

If you would like to present teach instruct or sell in 3d we have over 250 engineering related 3d models.

3d model tectonic plate animation. We designed this model to help kids and adults get a greater understanding of where tectonic plates are relative to each land masscontinent. Salt maps can be used to create lithospheric plates and tectonic plate boundaries for 3 d projects and they provide an excellent method for projecting the theory of plate tectonics.

The earths tectonic plates are visible as bright orange lines. This stunning tablet and ipad enabled resource gives you an interactive globe of the earth with a wide range of geographic demographic and statistical maps. This is one of several hundred 3d models within our online model database. Image from interactive diagram by earthguide at scripps institution of oceanography.

Webgl is a technology that allows users to render graphics through the gpu from their web browser. Source data are described in wd. It looks like your using a web browser without webgl. The animation illustrates the movements of the lithospheric plates from 250 million years in the past through to the present as well as projections of continental movements 30 million years into the future.
