PLATE TECTONICS Why the Earth is Like It Is What Did The Earth Look Like In The Past?

 Alfred Wegener – developed the Continental Drift hypothesis  The continents were once joined as one single “supercontinent”  Pangea was the name given.

Continental drift and plate tectonics. Continental Drift Modern scientists consider the age of the Earth to be around 4.54 billion years Over that time.

Earth is over 1200 km thick and has four layers. – Crust - outer solid rock layer (granite on land, basalt in oceans) – Mantle – thickest layer, mostly.

What is tectonics? Tectonics is the study of the movement of the Earth’s crust. The slow movement of the mantle moves the crust which sits on top of.

PLATE TECTONICS. Plate Tectonics definitions Plate tectonics – the movement of Earth’s plates on its crust. Continental Drift – the apparent drifting.

Sci 10 – Class Starter List all pieces of evidence that supports the theory that the continents were once joined as a supercontinent. Shape, Connecting mountain ranges, Age of rocks, Glaciers, Fossils plant/animal List 2 pieces of geological evidence for Plate Tectonic Theory Magnetic Striping and Age of the Seafloor What are the three ways in which tectonic plates interact at plate boundaries. http://www.learner.org/interactives/dynamicearth/plate.html What are the symbols on a plate tectonic map? (Hint: use your Data Booklets)

Sci 10 – Class Starter

Sci 10 – Class Starter What are the three forces that provide the mechanism for plate movement? Mantle convection: Plates pushed in a similar way to a conveyer belt Ridge Push: As new magma cools it increases in density and pushes the plates to each side Slab pull: As plates are subducted convection currents and gravity pull the plate down What type of boundary (divergent, convergent or transform) and what types of plate interaction (oceanic and continental) leads to land mountain formation? Convergent + Continental-Continental Plate Boundary What type of boundaries do rifts form? Divergent plate boundaries (continental-continental) What type of boundaries do trenches form? Convergent plate boundaries (oceanic-continental or oceanic-oceanic)
