The Moving Layers of Earth and Plate Tectonics

Plate Tectonics: If you could slice the planet open, you would find it divided into different layers. In this video, we look at what those layers are and how they play an important role in creating tectonic hazards through something called ‘Plate Tectonics’.

Your videos are a huge help! I immediately grasp the concept in your videos! They are so informative and easy to understand. The animation and sense of humour is great as well! Thank you so much for helping people around the world to understand geography a little better. Please post more. 🙏

[@kirkthompson-nu4zj]

Thank you very much !

[@jessekatuin5342]

Thank you so much! I really struggle with this subject, but you explained it in a way that I can understand it. Much appreciated!

[@WHYNKO]

2023: latest updates, we have found that there is an innermost inner core. The fifth layer the last part at the centre, around 400-600 km across.

Ok

[@petercrossley1069]

Brilliant work!

Best geography vid yet🎉❤🎉❤🎉

[@jasrattariq929]

Thanks for this effort

[@adanagabriel9195]

Great video👍

[@aravensmask8306]

also great video! greatly explained and quite entertaining

[@2000coco]

Love this! Always good to go back to the basics! Thank you Professor 👏👏💞

[@MACYLOVER]

Thanks for this video ❤❤ this was a great video😂😂 my teacher put this out for us to watch if w wanted and this helped em understand this subject way more!!

[@PerisanCop]

same but i am doing it today

[@Leeeph]

Well dang he really did a cake metaphor, time to like the video🙃

[@user-dh1bf2vr9r]

i saw this video at school ngl pretty good video

[@hieronymus_ggt2557]

Thank you for your videos, you explain very good. It’s a pity that you don’t god more Attention for your videos, they are very good

[@safarabie4182]

Great video

[@SimpleGeography]

Thank you, Safa!

[@hasanboysadikov]

Good video

[@josephpeter6796]

Dear Mountain man,
very impressive
do you mind sharing the tools you use for your animations
thks and more power to you

[@SimpleGeography]

It's a mix of things! I use Blender to design things like the 3D Earth which has a chunk removed from it. After that's done, Michael Deluxe adds in things like zooming the camera around and text using Adobe After Effects. Some 2D animations like what you can see at 4:11 and 5:24 are done by Michael Deluxe just using After Effects.
Sometimes these make up a fairly small part of the video but can take many, many hours to create and render!

[@gamingandartwithjordyyt4011]

This is awesome, in knowledge and memes 😂😂😂 great video, though!

[@aravensmask8306]

how come the inner core is actually solid while the outer core is liquid? would you please explain?

[@andregodrie9980]

hey its because the density of the innercore is so high that the rocks colliding and becomming solid, in the outer core there is also a lot of density but not so high in the inner core so that keeps liquid

[@aravensmask8306]

@@andregodrie9980 thanks man!

[@tsunningwah3471]

so is the Pacific Plate considered as Oceanic Crust or Continental Crust ? I am confused....
that is, is Oceanic Plate=Oceanic Crust?????

[@baltazarreis5590]

So why is the inner core solid?

[@SimpleGeography]

Right in the centre of the planet, gravity is super strong. Think about it like this... you've got the weight of the entire planet being pulled towards the middle. That's a lot of pressure.
The pressure is so high, it stops the iron and nickel in the core from melting at the temperature it would do on the surface of Earth. Essentially, it's compressing all that metal into a ball so tightly that it can't melt into a less dense liquid.
So you end up with the liquid layer on the outside where the gravitational pressure is lower so it can melt, then a solid layer inside where the pressure is high enough to stop it from melting.

[@baltazarreis5590]

@@SimpleGeography Let me see if I got it right, so because of the pressure of the weight of the entire planet and because of the extreme force of gravity the atoms are compressed so much that they become their densest form wich is a solid right? (Because liquids are less dense than solids and less dense things have their atoms more separated?)

[@DKforthewin01]

Thanks for the explanation guys 😊

[@LammySci24]

I have read that the Mantle was mostly solid at small time and distance scales (Rock) and had some plastic regions of upwelling (magma plumes, etc. This contradicts the labels at 1:32..

[@ray830]

Bros the only reason im passing Hass 😪

[@MJX06]

Whys it solid metal?

The minecraft reference 💀

he really said, "you gotta go touch some grass"

[@ytuse2223]

minecraft is the best explanation.
