Presentation transcript:

The Theory of Plate Tectonics 6-2 Study Guide The Theory of Plate Tectonics

Why does heat flow towards the surface? Heat always flows from a warmers area to a colder area

What does GPS use to map the rate of tectonic plate movement? The GPS can map the rate of tectonic plate movement using radio signals

By what method is heat transferred within Earth’s system? Heat with in Earth’s interior is transferred primarily by convection

What method is used to measure the movement of Oceanic plates? Sea floor spreading

Draw the 3 different types of plate boundaries Divergent Transform Convergent

Define the following terms: Tectonic plates Theory of Plate Tectonics convection Lithosphere pieces that move around on top of the asthenosphere The theory that Earth’s lithosphere is divided into moving tectonic plates Process of moving layers of rock by heating and cooling
