1. Welcome 1
This is a document to explains the chosen concept to the animator.
This will take you through a 5 section process to provide the necessary details to the animator before starting the animation.
The legend on the left will indicate the current status of the document. The big Black colored number will denote the current section, the Grey color would denote the completed sections, and the Turquoise color would denote the remaining sections.
The slides having yellow background (like this one) are the 'Instruction slides' 2 3 4 5

2. Formation of The Himalaya
The Himalayas, which stretch ~ 2,900 km along the border between India and Tibet. This immense mountain range began to form between ~ 40 and 50 million years ago, when two large landmasses, India and Eurasia, driven by plate movement, collided.

3. Learning objectives 1
After interacting with this Learning Object, the learner will be able to:
Describe the geological phenomena of the formation of the Himalayan Orogeny Phase I
Describe the geological phenomena of the formation of the Himalayan Orogeny Phase II 2 3 4 5

4. Keywords/Definitions1
1. Orogeny: Refers to mountain building processes.
2. converging continental plates : In plate tectonics, a ‘convergent boundary’, also known as a ‘destructive plate boundary’ an actively deforming region where two (or more) tectonic plates or fragments of lithosphere move toward one another and collide. As a result, earthquakes and volcanoes are common near such convergent boundaries.
3. overthrusts: If the dip of the fault plane is low (generally < 20degree) and the displacement of the overlying block is large (often in the kilometer scale), the fault is called an overthrusts.
4. Main central Thrust : The Main Central Thrust, marking the boundary between the Lesser- and Higher Himalaya, is a zone of more or less parallel thrust planes along which the rocks of the Central Crystallines have moved southwards against, and over the younger sedimentary and met sedimentary rocks of the Lesser Himalaya.  2 3 4 5

5. Keywords/ Definitions1
5) Main Boundary Thrust: Separating the Siwalik Formations of the Sub-Himalayas from the older rocks lying to their north. It is a major structural plane discernible throughout the length of the Himalayas
6 ) Accretionary wedge or accretionary prism: Formed from sediments that are accreted onto the non-subducting tectonic plate at a convergent plate boundary. Most of the material in the accretionary wedge consists of marine sediments scraped off from the down going slab of oceanic crust, but in some cases includes the erosional products of volcanic island arcs formed on the overriding plates
7 ) Fore arc basin or arc-trench gap: Depression in the sea floor located between a subduction zone and an associated volcanic arc. It is typically filled with sediments from the adjacent landmass 2 3 4 5

6. 1 Master layout or diagram 2 3 4 5
Make a schematic diagram of the concept
Explain the animator about the beginning and ending of the process.
Draw image big enough for explaining.
In the image, identify and label different components of the process/phenomenon. (These are like characters in a film)‏
Illustrate the basic flow of action by using arrows. Use BOLD lines in the diagram (minimum 2pts.)‏
In the slide after that, provide the definitions of ALL the labels used in the diagram
You may have multiple master layouts.
In this case, number the master layout. (e.g. Master layout 1, 2, 3…)‏ 2 3 4 5

8. 3 Stepwise description of process 1 2 4 5
The goal of the document is to provide instructions to an animator who is not a expert.
You have to describe what steps the animator should take to make your concept come alive as a moving visualization.
Use one slide per step. This will ensure clarity of the explanation.
Add a image of the step in the box, and the details in the table below the box.
You can use any images for reference, but mention about it's copyright status
The animator will have to re-draw / re-create the drawings
Add more slides as per the requirement of the animation 2 3 4 5

Animation design
Please see the design template provided in the next slide.
This is a sample template, and you are free to change as per your design requirements.
Try and rename the tabs / buttons / sections / subsections as shown in the template.
Use ‘callouts’ as shown above to explain the source of content. Ex: If the call out is placed at the Tab 01, and you want the content to be taken from slide 3 of this presentation, then place this callout on the Tab 01, and write ‘Slide 3’ inside the callout. 2 3

17. Self- Assessment Questionnaire for Learners
APPENDIX 1
Self- Assessment Questionnaire for Learners
Please provide a set of questions that a user can answer based on the LO. They can be of the following types:
These questions should be 5 in number and can be of objective type (like MCQ, Match the columns, Yes or No, Sequencing, Odd One Out).
The questions can also be open-ended. The user would be asked to think about the question. The author is requested to provide hints if possible, but a full answer is not necessary.
One can include questions, for which the user will need to interact with the LO (with certain parameters) in order to answer it.
It is better to avoid questions based purely on recall.

18. Questionnaire:
1) Himalaya orogen is associated with which tectonic setting?
a) Oceanic-Oceanic setting

d) All of these

19. Questionnaire: 3) What do you mean by continental shelf?

Summary
This immense mountain range began to form between ~ 40 and 50 million years ago, when two large landmasses, India and Eurasia, driven by plate movement, collided
There are two phases involved in the formation of the Himalaya; phase one is about collision and formation of it and second phase is about its upliftment.
