There are many videos showing Continental Drift as related to Plate Tectonics.  A few are below

 

Pangaea Map - This image shows Pangea (the supercontinent that formed roughly 300 million years ago) mapped with today's geopolitical borders.

 

This Dynamic Earth - the story of plate tectonics  great site from the US Geological Survey

 

 What happens when plates meet?

 

 

Video on Youtube (only with parent's permission!) - What's it like when volcanoes blow?

 

Wegener's Evidence - the first few pages of this powerpoint talks about what Wegener used to support his theory of continental drift.

 

Plate Tectonics - fact or fiction

 

Learn about The Continental Drift - Plate Tectonics

 

650 Million Years in 1 Min. and 20 Sec.  - This site shows not only the way the continents moved long before Pangaea, but how they might look in the future

 

Introduction to Plate Tectonics - some nice visuals of what happens when plates meet each other or spread apart.

Check out what can happen when plates meet

 

Plate Boundaries- click and drag an arrow to move a plate and see what happens!

 

Earthquake information

 

Earth Through Time  you choose the date and see what Earth looked like at the time
