1 Thank you for not chewing gum or anything else 
Materials: Pencil Notebook Packet Lab Text D-42 Tuesday, January 17 Agenda: Bell work Activity 45 - Understanding Plate Boundaries Daily Objective: Today we will learn how plate movement is related to landforms and earthquakes. Daily Question: How does the theory of plate tectonics, explain the locations of earthquakes, volcanoes and mountains?

2 Activity 45: Understanding Plate Boundaries
Procedure: -Read the activity - As you read complete the notes worksheet-Student Sheet 45.1 When you are done: work on your study guide

3 Transform Earthquakes Ex: San Andreas Fault

4

5 Divergent Volcanoes Ridges Ex: Mid-Atlantic Ridge

6 Video Video - Magma

7 Convergent Plate Boundary Oceanic/continental
asthenosphere - is a part of the upper mantle just below the lithosphere that is involved in plate tectonic movement Subduction - process that takes place at convergent boundaries by which one tectonic plate moves under another tectonic plate and sinks into the mantle as the plates converge Ex: Andes Mountains Cascade mountain Range Subduction

8

9 Continental/Continental Convergent Plate Boundary
Earthquakes Mountains Ex: Himalayan Mts.

10

11 Oceanic/Oceanic Convergent plate boundary.
Trenches Volcanic Island mountains Earthquakes Ex: Solomon Islands

12 Hot Spots Hot Spot: volcanic regions thought to be fed by underlying mantle in which magma is trapped and hot compared with the mantle in other places. Ex: Hawaii & Yellowstone
