2. Plate Tectonics: Major Plates

3. Plate Tectonics: Subduction
A - Melted Crust
B – Volcano
C – Magma
D – Oceanic Crust
E – Mantle
F – Deep Ocean Trench
G – Mid Ocean Ridge

4. Plate Tectonics: Plate Boundaries
Convergent Boundary
Transform Boundary
Divergent Boundary

5. Plate Tectonics: Sea Floor Spreading
Mid-Ocean Ridge
Sea-Floor Spreading continually adds new material to ocean floor
New material splits apart from the old material and pushes it outward from the ridge.
Magnetic striping, age of ocean floor, pillow lava rocks
Subduction at a deep ocean trench occurs because the oceanic crust is more dense than the continental crust.

6. Rocks and Minerals
Hardness
Streak
Density
Crystal Structure

7. Rocks and Minerals Rock Type Origin Appearance Uses Igneous
Igneous
Magma or Lava
Crystals or gas bubbles
Building material, abrasive cleaners, or sharp tools
Rock Fragment Deposition (Clastic)
Organic Deposition (Organic)
Mineral Depostion (Chemical)
Fossils, sand grains or rock fragments
Sedimentary
Building material, but easily damaged by acid rain
Metamorphic
Statues, buildings, roofing
Ribbon-like layers, extremely hard
High temperature or pressure

8. Describing Earth –
Edit this to have all the layers – inner core, outer core, mesosphere, asthenosphere, lithosphere and crust

10. Explain how the hot spot shown in the diagram below created the Hawaiian Islands. Draw an arrow on the diagram to show the motion of the plate and help explain the process.
