EV Nautilus: Tectonic Plates [Animation]
Convection, the movement of fluid beneath Earth's crust, drives the planet's tectonic plates. This process can result in seafloor spreading, which can result in the formation of new areas of oceanic crust.
EV Nautilus: Seafloor Mapping [Animation]
When exploring little-known regions of the ocean, we often need to create our own maps to plan efficient and safe operations. Resource type: website, reference.
EV Nautilus: Dual Body ROV System [Animation]
Did you know that when using ROVs to explore the deep sea, sometimes two are better than one? In this teaching animation, you can learn about the dual-body ROV system used by ocean explorers to safely and efficiently explore the seafloor.
The Ocean [StoryMap]
Highly engaging overview of the ocean, seafloor geomorphology, tempreature regulation and climate, currents, and more.
