Main Features of Plate Tectonics The Earth's surface is covered by a series of crustal plates.
Evidence for Continental Drift Early maps of the world caused Alfred Wegener to propose the continental drift theory (early 20 th c.). The continents.

in conjunction with www.sln.org.uk/geography 1 Level 3 Where is South America or Africa Spot the difference in conjunction with www.sln.org.uk/geography Return

in conjunction with www.sln.org.uk/geography 2 Level 4 (i) Name two continents which were joined together. (ii) How does the evidence from dinosaurs help us. in conjunction with www.sln.org.uk/geography Return

in conjunction with www.sln.org.uk/geography 3 Level 5c (i) How does the above image prove that the plates have moved. in conjunction with www.sln.org.uk/geography Return

in conjunction with www.sln.org.uk/geography 4 Level 5b What is happening here and where is it happening. How does it help with our theory? Summarise 4 pieces of evidence which support Wegeners theory? in conjunction with www.sln.org.uk/geography Return

in conjunction with www.sln.org.uk/geography 5 Level 5a This is a fold mountain. Examples of fold mountain ranges include the Himalayas and Alps. How might they be pushed upwards? Is this a clue? What would cause these layers of folding in this mountain? in conjunction with www.sln.org.uk/geography Return

in conjunction with www.sln.org.uk/geography 6 Level 6c Demonstrate with your hands three different movement of plates What is happening here and how does that help us? in conjunction with www.sln.org.uk/geography Return

in conjunction with www.sln.org.uk/geography 7 Level 6b Contrast what is happening in these two locations From your knowledge what direction would X be moving in and why? X in conjunction with www.sln.org.uk/geography Return

in conjunction with www.sln.org.uk/geography 8 Level 6a What colour is the rock? Now, think what could the rock have been made from? Where would it have been made? How did it get here? Explain the formation of coal above. Then explain how it is possible to find coal in the UK in conjunction with www.sln.org.uk/geography Return

in conjunction with www.sln.org.uk/geography 9 Level 7 Paleomagnetism. The earths magnetic polarity reverses every 20000 years. How does this reversal of polarity help Wegeners case? in conjunction with www.sln.org.uk/geography Return
