REVIEW What type of: Stress? Force? Fault? Landform? Shear Neutral Slip-Strike Offset Geology

SEAFLOOR SPREADING SES2. Students will understand how plate tectonics creates certain geologic features, materials, and hazards. a. Distinguish among types of plate tectonic settings produced by plates diverging, converging, and sliding past each other. b. Relate modern and ancient geologic features to each kind of plate tectonic setting.

REVIEW: DIVERGENT PLATE BOUNDARIES Plate separates; tension stress; normal fault Landforms Created: Rift Valleys Fault-block Mountains Mid-Ocean Ridges Constructive Force – creates new plates where magma rises.

REVIEW: PLATE TECTONICS THEORY Alfred Wegner Theory of Plate Tectonics. Early 20th Century. Evidence Geographic fit Fossils Rock formations Not fully accepted until 1960’s!

HESS: MAPPING THE OCEAN FLOOR Harry Hammond Hess provided evidence to support the theory. Echo Soundings Revealed: Central Mountain Ranges Trenches Mid-Atlantic Ridge Lava at center of ridge. Younger rock near ridge. Older rock outward. Sediments deeper farther out from ridge.

GEOMAGNETIC REVERSALS RECORDED IN ROCK Rocks record of Earth’s magnetic pole reversals. As rocks solidify minerals align with poles. When poles reverse, the alignment is opposite.

EARTH’S MAGNETIC FIELD Caused by movement of conducting material inside Earth's core. Creates magnetic field around planet (magnetosphere). Protects from solar wind. Creates magnetic poles (North and South).

GEOGRAPHIC VS. MAGNETIC POLES Geographic pole: Center of rotation – shown on maps. Magnetic pole: the point where the planet's magnetic field points vertically downward – where a compass points. These locations are not the same.

POLE REVERSALS North and South poles flip. This is a common occurrence . It happens gradually. Pattern about every 200,000 to 300,000 years. Last pole reversal approximately 780,000 years ago.

RECORD OF MAGNETIC POLES IN ROCK Some rocks have iron-bearing minerals that act as tiny magnets. As magma or lava cool, these minerals begin to form.

RECORD OF MAGNETIC POLES IN ROCK Magnetic minerals in the molten rock become aligned to the magnetic field. When the rock solidifies, minerals lock in the magnetic field like many tiny compasses.

MAGNETIC REVERSALS RECORDED IN ROCK Rocks formed over long periods of time retain record of pole reversals. Record of pole reversals can appear in: Mountain building Sea Floor spreading

POLE WANDERING Magnetic poles move. Thought to be caused by currents in Earth’s molten outer core. Current North pole moving toward Siberia at about 40 miles per year. Moving faster than before – 100 years ago only moving 10 miles per year.

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT…. What scientist first developed the theory of plate tectonics? What scientist found evidence for the theory of seafloor spreading? A. Harry Hess B. Albert Einstein C. Lord Kelvin D. Alfred Wegener D A
