| This Dynamic Earth - Online version of a U.S. Geological Survey brochure on the topic of plate tectonics. The site seems appropriate for high-schoolers and above (and advanced middle schoolers). Covers the historical development of plate tectonics as a theory, how we see it in action today, and how tectonics affects people.
