What is tectonics? Tectonics is the study of the movement of the Earth’s crust. The slow movement of the mantle moves the crust which sits on top of.

Volcanoes can form at any point where the crust is weak. They mostly form along boundaries of Earth’s plates because that is where the rocks tend to be.

Rifting – the process by which Earths crust breaks apart. It can occur within continental crust or oceanic crust

East African Rift

Continental Growth Terrane – a piece of lithosphere that has a unique geologic history that differs from the histories of the surrounding lithosphere.

Hot Spots

Yellowstone

Tracking the Pacific Plate

Short Answer Questions -Identify one area where continental rifting is occurring. Which plates are involved? Explain how the movement of these plates could influence how plants and animals evolve? (look on pg. 257) -Turn to page 264 and answer question number 5. -Use the map on pg. 265 to predict what will happen to Hawaii after millions of years of plate motion. Explain your answer.
