Plate Tectonics Shake, Rattle, & Roll!

Plate Tectonics a scientific theory that describes the large scale motions of the Earth's plates.

Layers of the Earth

Plate Movement It is believed that tectonic plates are moved by several different forces: Rotation of the earth Tidal forces of sun & moon Gravitational pull Convection cell

Alfred Lothar Wegener Developed the theory of Pangea & Continental Drift.

Pangea

The Case for Pangea

Continental Drift Direction of plate drift

Types of Plate Motion Convergent Divergent Transform Tectonic Plate Motion http://www.passmyexams.co.uk Under the Earth & Beyond – Plate Tectonic Motion

Convergent Boundaries- Where two tectonic plates come together Divergent Boundaries- where two tectonic plates pull apart Transform Boundaries- where two tectonic plates grind past each other.
