1 Theory of Plate Tectonics

2 What is a Plate and what is Plate Tectonics ?

3

4 What is the Lithosphere?

5 What is the Asthenoshere?

6 Draw a Convergent Plate Boundary.
Draw a Divergent Plate Boundary. Draw a Transform Boundary.

7

8 Name 2 Types of Plates and what material are they mostly made of?

9 What is the theory of plate tectonics?

10 Plate Boundaries

11 Divergent Boundaries Describe what is rifting and where rifting will be found. Include a diagram.

15 Convergent Boundaries
What are Convergent Boundaries? Draw a diagram of a convergent boundary.

16 Name Three Types of Convergent Boundaries.
Make sure to include which plate is doing what, and what that zone is called. State an actual location for each type of Convergent Boundary.

20 Describe Transform Fault Boundaries and what can occur there.

22 San Andreas Fault, CA

23 Causes of Plate Tectonics

24 Convection Currents Describe convection currents
Diagram the Earth’s mantle convection currents. Make sure to label the: inner core, outer core, the asthenosphere, lithosphere, and the mantle.
