Understanding Plate Tectonics and Coal Formation in Virginia

This resource delves into the concepts of plate tectonics and its implications on Earth's lithosphere, where tectonic plates float on the mantle and are responsible for seismic activities. Additionally, it covers the formation and significance of coal in Virginia, exploring its sedimentary origins, association with fossil fuels, and impact on air quality. The geography of the Appalachian Plateau and the formation of reserves for oil and natural gas are also highlighted, along with educational quizzes for further learning.
