LAB 3: FORCES THAT CAUSE EARTH MOVEMENTS Key Question: Does the rock of the Earth’s mantle move?

I-4 Dynamic Planet Notes

 Scientists identify the boundaries between two plates by the plate movement.  There are three types of plate boundaries: 1. Divergent 2. Convergent.

Structure of the Earth Crust = solid outermost layer Mantle = middle layer Core = inner layer outer core = liquid inner core = solid.

Plate tectonics By: Noa Bryan. Intro Coming from the Latin word, tectonicus, plate tectonics essentially deals with the large scale motions of earths.

We know the Earth is broken into 8 major lithospheric plates …. We know these plates move …. We know there are boundaries between the plates …. Now, let’s.

SWBAT 1. Explain how plate tectonics accounts for the Earth’s features. 1. Describe the three types of plate boundaries and geographic features associated.

Plates make up the crust of the Earth

Theory of Plate Tectonics. How do we know the plates exist?  Earthquake and Volcano Zones  Ocean floor features (Trenches and Mid-Oceanic ridges)

There are 3 main types of plate boundaries: 1. Divergent 2. Convergent 3. Transform.

Structure of the Earth The Earth is made up of 3 main layers: ______________.

By Sean Daley and Brendan Loney Convergent Boundaries  When two tectonic plates collide, the boundary in which they meet is called a convergent boundary.

Tectonic Plate Boundaries. There are 3 type of Plate Boundaries 1.Convergent (Subduction) 2.Divergent 3.Transform Plate Movement Animation.

Plate Boundaries Earth’s crust plus the upper mantle forms the lithosphere. Earth’s lithosphere is broken in a number of different pieces. How these pieces.

The Theory of Plate Tectonics Earth’s crust is made of many ________ These plates move as a result of ______________ in the mantle Earth’s surface is.

Plate Boundaries Convergent – 2 plates moving towards each other.

Plate Boundaries. Plate Tectonics ▪ Plate Tectonics – the theory that the Earth’s lithosphere is divided into tectonic plates that move around on top.

Plate Tectonics.  How many lithospheric plates are there on the earth?

Obj. 4: Explain the differences between divergent, convergent and transform plate boundaries The plates of the lithosphere move in directions relative.

Dynamic Planet I-4 Further Review

What are the three types of plate movements? What are the resulting boundaries? Give an example of a location where this happens.

Plate movement Resulting Boundary Example Moving away from one another Divergent Plate Boundary Mid-ocean ridge Iceland Towards one another Convergent Plate Boundary Himilayas/Tibetan Plateau Nazca plate/South American Plate Japan/Pacific Plate Side to Side Transform Boundary San Andreas Fault, California

What are the two types of lithospheric plates?

Oceanic Continental Thinner More dense Newer Thicker Less dense than the mantle Older

What is the difference between a subduction zone and continent-continent collision zone?

Subduction zone Continent-continent colli sion zone Between a continental plate & oceanic plate or oceanic & oceanic plate Oceanic plate goes under Between two continental plates One continent goes under another, however friction will stop it from being consumed (also less dense than the mantle) Crust is thickest
