Oceanic plate age (poster)
Visually accessible global map for poster print of oceanic plate age designed for color-blind readers.
The lithosphere is explained in this collection of accurate, accessible science graphics, designed to make understanding the Earth’s rigid outer shell clear and engaging. These visuals illustrate how the lithosphere forms the tectonic plates, interacting through processes like rifting, subduction, and mountain building. Ideal for educators, students, and geoscience enthusiasts, this lithosphere graphic collection turns complex geological concepts into visually rich, easy-to-grasp resources for teaching and learning about Earth’s dynamic outer layer.
