Plate Tectonics 2: Plate Tectonics and Australia
Australia has moved over time, and is still moving! Work as a scientist to predict how the movement of the Australian plate would have influenced flora and fauna, and calculate the current movement of Australia as we drift north. Use your understanding of the continents and spatial awareness to solve a tectonic plate puzzle, and identify the geological features and events found at plate boundaries.
