1
Features on Earth’s Surface
Pages Features on Earth’s Surface
2
Watch Constructive Forces earthquakes crustal deformations
volcanic eruptions sediment depostion Watch
3
Destructive Forces Wear down landforms
carry bits and pieces of land to other places like the sea weathering erosion
4
Divergent Plate boundaries
Make new crusts two plates moving apart in opposite directions
5
Seafloor Spreading the seafloor actually spreads apart where the plates pull away the lava reaches earths surface then solidifies this makes new ocean crust The new crust forms a mid ocean ridge
6
Lava cooling under ocean
7
Convergent Plate Boundaries
Destroy crust! Plates converge or push into each other deep ocean trenches continental mountain chains volcanic island chains
8
Continental Mtn. Range
9
Transform Fault Boundaries
two plates grind past each other San Andreas Fault
10
Thrust Fault forms when compression makes a fracture form through the rock layers
11
The force actually pushed one set of rock layers up and on top of the nearby rock layers
12
Fold forms when rock layers bend without breaking
the rocks actually act like silly putty in slow motion
13
Hot Spots Rock will continually rise through the mantle and melt through the plate As the magma rises through the crust it actually makes new rock
14
Hawaiian Island in Pacific Ocean
15
Formation of island chains…
16
Shield Volcanoes Largest volcanoes
formed by multiple erosions of highly viscous lava Ex- Hawaii Islands (Kilauea) Lava is thin, so gas escapes and doesn’t give pressure a chance to build up
17
Composite the type your picture when someone says volcano
HUGE symmetrical mountains form along plate boundaries Mt. St. Helens
18
Cinder Cones spit out ash, gas, and hot rocks like walnuts
only active a few years small and mound shaped Paricutin Mexico actually destroyed SanJaun
19
Glaciers One of the most powerful forces on Earth
Large bodies of freshwater and ice that move down valleys and across land
20
Moraines glaciers leave deposits of rocks and soil
