Plate Tectonics & how plates work. Transform boundary also called a conservative boundary Two tectonic plates slide past one another Convection currents.

Warm UP 12 / 03/ 12 Give the three sources of evidence to support the theory of Continental Drift.

Plate tectonics. Continent-continent collisions.

Plate Tectonics. plate tectonics-the theory that pieces of Earth’s lithosphere are in constant motion, driven by convection currents in the mantle.

What type of boundary is a? What is a process that happens at a? What is a feature that happens at a? Convergent (oc-oc) Volcanism, subduction, earthquakes.

Label the Earth Diagram Terminology 1.The innermost layer of the earth. 2. A vibration or tremor of the earth’s surface. 3. A mountain which is formed.

Plates make up the crust of the Earth

Theory of Plate Tectonics. How do we know the plates exist?  Earthquake and Volcano Zones  Ocean floor features (Trenches and Mid-Oceanic ridges)

Plate Boundaries.

Plate Tectonics Notes Notes

Tectonic Plate Boundaries. There are 3 type of Plate Boundaries 1.Convergent (Subduction) 2.Divergent 3.Transform Plate Movement Animation.

Intro Objective 10/5/11 Describe the three types of tectonic plate boundaries. What do you think forms when two tectonic plates collide? What about when.

Plate Boundaries Earth’s crust plus the upper mantle forms the lithosphere. Earth’s lithosphere is broken in a number of different pieces. How these pieces.

Continental Drift to Plate Tectonics: From hypothesis to theory Part C: The theory of plate tectonics.

Plate Tectonics - theory stating that the Earth’s crust is made up of large, moving plates - the major force in geomorphology.

Which plate boundary is represented?. Convergent Boundary.

Plate Tectonics. The crust is broken into plates that float on the mantle. The crust is broken into plates that float on the mantle. Sometimes the plates.

Plate tectonics lab. 1 Convergent Boundaries Oceanic to Continental boundary impact - The oceanic plate ALWAYS subducts (goes under) Called Subduction:

Types of Plate Boundaries After completing this section, students will identify that the Earth is made of geologic plates (Standard PI-041) and investigate.

The earth rotates on its axis from west to east, causing places in the east to see the sun first.

Plate Boundaries. Divergent Plate Boundary Description of Plate Boundary & Motion at Boundary: ON LAND – two plates spread apart; crust separates and.

Boundary Notes EQ #1 What happens along plate boundaries?

Plate Boundaries JOURNAL PAGE 65.  The edges of the plates meet at lines called plate boundaries.  When rocks slip past each other along these boundaries.

More About Plate Boundaries. Convergent Continental Crust collides with Continental Crust 1. What landforms are built? ___________________ 2. Are volcanoes.

Falcon Focus Rank the four main layers of the earth from least dense to most dense. What causes the plate tectonics to move?

Theory of Plate Tectonics. How do we know the plates exist?  Earthquake and Volcano Zones  Ocean floor features (Trenches and Mid-Oceanic ridges)

PLATE BOUNDARIES. Instructional Goals  Explain how each of the three plate boundaries are formed  Predict the resulting landforms from each boundary.

Converging and Diverging Is the planet getting larger or smaller?

Converging and Diverging NO! The Earth is NOT getting larger or smaller! –As new crust is being created at diverging boundaries, old crust is being destroyed an converging boundaries. –Balance!
