If anyone knows of any geographers (or general humanities teachers) who would be interested in a teaching post until the end of the academic year (Barnstaple) please let me know! πŸ™

Hello all! As a newbie on here, I'm looking to connect with folks who are into geology, geo visualisations and GIS, and especially how they connect with the school classroom.

1/ When teaching plate tectonics to pupils, it's important to note that they will probably be coming with prior misconceptions about how plates move. So ubiquitous is the mantle convection cells model that that's how pupils will probably think plates move.

But they would be wrong! to think that...

A graphic showing the formation of the Himalaya

Want to supercharge your geography teaching of collision zones? Check out this graphic showing the main features of the orogeny in the Himalaya.

How does this compare to what we typically teach?

How much more of this detail could our pupils cope with?

I read a lot of academic papers about plate tectonics. Many of them assume a prior base knowledge which can make them less accessible for the non-specialist.

This one starts with as good a summary of the various models for plate & mantle dynamics as I've read.
