Professor John Mavrogenes (Mav) from the Australian National University (anu.edu.au) introduces how the plate tectonic processes work. This as part of a series of educational videos on plate tectonics. 

This clip has been created by the Research School of Earth Sciences (rses.anu.edu.au). These resources are part of a comprehensive program, curriculum matched to the unit 'The changing Earth - the cause and impact of Earth hazards.' 

This video touches on the following curriculum descriptors: 
Plate tectonic processes generate earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and tsunamis; the occurrence of these events affects other Earth processes and interactions (for example, ash clouds influence global weather) (ACSES099)
