Plate Tectonics (convection, evidence) Rock Cycle Rocks vs Minerals District CFA is over: Layers of the Earth Plate Tectonics (convection, evidence) Rock Cycle Rocks vs Minerals
Name the Layers A B C D
Which layers are solid? A B C D
Which layers are partially solid? B C D
Which layers are liquid? B C D
Name the Layers Lithosphere A B Asthenosphere
In which layer does convection occur? B C D
Convection happens in the ASTHENOSPHERE
Let’s take a closer look at how this works: COOL by crust Heat gives particles more energy and they spread apart becoming less dense Particles lose energy, slow down and move together, becoming more dense HEAT from core
Which of the following is NOT evidence for Plate Tectonics Theory? Earthquakes and Volcanoes Nuclear fusion Matching fossils on different continents Hurricanes and Typhoons Tornadoes The way the continents fit together Matching rock layers on different continents

Plate Boundaries Three types of Plate Boundaries: DIVERGENT: Where two plates move APART. -CONVERGENT: Where two plates come TOGETHER.
Plate Boundaries Types of Plate Boundaries: TRANSFORM: Where two plates slide past each other, moving in opposite directions.
Name which plate boundary causes each landform: Earthquakes Volcanoes Seafloor Spreading Mountains Trenches CONVERGENT DIVERGENT TRANSFORM CONVERGENT DIVERGENT DIVERGENT CONVERGENT DIVERGENT CONVERGENT
