I am a high school oceanography teacher new to GPlates. I would like to use Gplates to show how plate tectonics (divergent/convergent plate boundaries and hot spots) create seafloor features (volcanic islands, Seamounts, guyot, trenches). I would like students to have to model the formation of these features or interact with one in some way. I would have to use a portal rather than a downloadable version. Please let me know how I would be able to use this tool for this purpose!

There are some 3D globes at https://portal.gplates.org/. But I am not sure if they fit your needs. We also have a mobile app which is designed for education purpose. A/Prof Maria Seton specializes in creating educational materials using GPlates. If you contact her, she may provide some brilliant ideas/plans.
thank you, I will try that out!
