“Plate Tectonics for Glacier Lovers” will be the topic of a presentation at the Nov. 2 meeting of the Ice Age Floods Institute, Puget Lobe Chapter meeting at 7 p.m. Monday, Nov. 2, at the Edmonds Senior Center.
The speaker will be John Whitmer, dedicated and well-known student of Pacific Northwest geology and a teacher in the Telos Program at Bellevue Community College.
The landscape and underlying geology of the Pacific Northwest region are determined largely by the interaction of the North America Plate with several successive Oceanic Plates, such as the Farallon and Juan de Fuca Plates, and this process has controlled the local effects of the Cordilleran Ice Sheet and associated glaciers. Intrigued?
The meeting is free and open to all.
