Event Details
Dale Gnidovec, curator of the Orton Geological Museum at Ohio State University, explores the plate tectonics of our dynamic planet. Nothing in Earth history makes sense without moving continents—it tells us why mountains, volcanoes, minerals, and fossils are where they are. Dale examines the evidence for continental drift, why it was disbelieved, and explains how the more-encompassing theory of plate tectonics was developed and eventually proven.
This free program is part of our lifelong learning series, Empowered Minds. The focus of this signature service is healthy aging and enrichment for the retirement-age citizens of Licking County. All adults are welcome. Empowered Minds is supported by a sustaining gift from Robert Trimble Jr., a lifelong learner, and, in part, by Licking County Senior Levy. Donations are appreciated.
