Presentation transcript:

How the Earth’s surface changes every day

First you have to understand the make-up of our Earth

Tectonic Plates

Sliding plates

Divergent Plates

Convergent Boundaries make mountains

Review three types of boundaries with a rap

How do these plate movements affect the earth’s surface?

Transform plates cause earthquakes

Plate movements cause the earth to move

Results of divergent plate movement

The Red Sea is created by by Saudi Arabia and Africa pulling apart from each other. This causes the Red Sea to get bigger every year.

Changes from volcanoes - Mountains are formed

Changes from volcanoes - Islands are formed

Formation of the Hawaiian Islands

Mount St. Helens

Results of convergent boundaries

Google Earth takes you on a tour of the many places our earth is changed by the movement of the tectonic plates – including many we discussed today
