Plate Tectonics Ingrid & eliana
2
Who proposed and different kinds of evidence
Alfred Wegener Evidence – fossils, glaciers, mountains, the continents fit together
3
Types of convergent plate boundaries
Ocean-ocean Ocean-continent Continent-continent Features in common mountains and earthquakes
4
Types of divergent plate boundary
Ocean-ocean Continent-continent Features in common There’s going to be a rift
5
Hot spot A volcanic activity That is made of hot solid material which
rises from deep in Earths mantle.
6
PLATES Plates move 2 to 5 cm per year.
About the same speed your fingernails grow In a million year it would move 25 km
7
Major names of plates There are 7 major plates- Pacific plate
Indo-Australian plate The north American plate Eurasian plate African plate South American plate Antarctic plate
