Inside Earth 1.2 & 1.5

4
Heat from Earth’s core and mantle cause convection currents in the asthenosphere
REMEMBER – Convection Currents are caused by differences in DENSITY
5
The Earth is broken into separate sections called plates
6
**The Theory of Plate Tectonics states that convection currents in the asthenosphere make the lithospheric plates move. ** = Not in notes packet – Have to add it in.
7
The plates have plate boundaries
8
3 types of plate boundaries
9
Transform boundaries Place where 2 plates slip past each other
Crust is neither created nor destroyed Earthquakes occur here San Andreas fault in California
