Tentacle Optics of the Inept Closet Cat - A Concept’s Title - Part 1

This week we dive deep into the first unifying theory in Geology - Plate Tectonics. It shows how science evolves and improves upon itself by the continued work and dedication by the people doing the research. Our guest, Dr. Dale Simpson, Jr. exemplifies this fact. He is an American Anthropological Archeologist who has dedicated his life's work researching the ancient interactions of the people of Rapa Nui, or Easter Island, by using geology and documenting the movement of basalt from different geologic sources. 

Part 1 is a discussion that introduces Dale, the Idea of Plate Tectonics, Evidence of Continental Drift, A Brief Discussion of Plate Boundaries and some of their Features, How Scientists Use Science To Build Upon What Is Known, How We Can Use Science To Answer Questions and Further Our Knowledge.

Part 2 continues with Dale's story (stay tuned)
