PLATE TECTONICS THEORY OF PLATE TECTONICS LIST FOUR FEATURES CAUSED BY PLATE TECTONICS DEFINE: CONVERGE DIVERGE TRANSFORM PLATE PLATE TECTONICS LITHOSPHERE ASTHENOSPHERE CONVECTION CURRENT

PLATE TECTONICS THEORY OF PLATE TECTONICS COMPLETE THE FOLLOWING OUTLINE ON THE THEORY OF PLATE TECTONICS. I. A NEW THEORY IN THE 1960’S, A NEW THEORY CALLED _________ WAS DEVELOPED. EARTH’S __________ AND PART OF THE _______ ARE BROKEN IN SECTIONS CALLED ________, THAT MOVE SLOWLY. II. DETAILS ABOUT THE THEORY THE LAYER OF EARTH THAT IS BROKEN INTO SECTIONS IS CALLED THE ___________________. THE _______________ IS THE PLASTICLIKE LAYER BELOW THE _______________. THE RIGID PLATES MOVE OVER THE _____________________.

PLATE TECTONICS THEORY OF PLATE TECTONICS COMPARE AND CONTRAST THE DIFFERENT PLATE BOUNDARIES BY DEFINING THEM SIDE BY SIDE. DRAW THE PLATES OF THE WORLD. IDENTIFY PLATE MOTION BY USING ARROWS. DIVERGENT CONVERGENT TRANSFORM DRAW THE PLATE OF THE WORLD. IDENTIFY PLATE MOTION BY USING ARROWS
