Explore the complex plate tectonic history of the North American Cordillera through this 46-minute geological lecture that combines seismic tomography, geodynamic modeling, and mineral deposit analysis. Learn how advanced tomographic imaging reveals the deep structure of the western North American margin and discover the connections between ancient subduction processes and modern mineral distribution patterns. Examine cutting-edge geodynamic models that explain the evolution of the Cordilleran mountain system and understand how these geological processes have influenced the formation and location of economically important mineral deposits throughout the region.
