• History of geomagnetismNarrower topic: Magnetic patterns in ocean crust became key evidence for seafloor spreading and plate motion.

• MangaiaNarrower topic: Regional plate motion underlies the volcanic and tectonic history of the Cook Islands.

• OnsenNarrower topic: Plate boundaries create much of Japan’s volcanic and geothermal activity.
