  6. Locations of the Major Tectonic “Plates” Note: this is the map I have often used. I like it, but can’t find it any more. The following one is close enough.

  19. This is what parts of the U.S. used to look like….. Note: I haven’t found this, or anything close enough yet.

  20. Seismic Imaging Reveals the Most Likely Places to Find Oil and Natural Gas. Note: I haven’t found this, or anything close enough yet.

  21. It also will also reveal the locations of the next big source of energy, methane gas hydrates. http://picturethis.pnl.gov/picturet.nsf/All/53KTZG?opendocument http://www.uni-kiel.de/future-ocean/a2/bild2.gif
