Reading the Tectonic Plate Map
3
pic Divergent Boundary: Where plates are spreading apart. Plates move away from each other as new rock is formed between them
4
jk Convergent boundary: Where plates collide. One plate subducts under the other (subduction zone) Three types: Oceanic-Continental Continental-continental Oceanic-Oceanic
5
jk Transform boundary: When convection currents cause plates to slide past each other. Breaks in the rock layer (faults) may occur here. Faults in this area are called transform faults. High earthquake risk
8
. Energy Transfer, Weather, Climate

Heat Versus Thermal Energy Kinetic Molecular Theory: All matter is made of particles. When these particles collide energy is released.
10
Heat Versus Thermal Energy Kinetic Molecular Theory: All matter is made of particles. When these particles collide energy is released. Heating an object = Particles move faster = more energy Thermal Energy: the total energy of all the particles in a solid. Liquid or gas.

Heat Versus Thermal Energy Kinetic Molecular Theory: All matter is made of particles. When these particles collide energy is released. Heating an object = Particles move faster = more energy Thermal Energy: the total energy of all the particles in a solid. Liquid or gas. Heat: The amount of thermal energy that travels from a hotter object to a cooler object
12
Conduction and Convection Conduction: The transfer of heat from one substance to another or by direct contact of particles Convection:
13
Conduction and Convection Conduction: The transfer of heat from one substance to another or by direct contact of particles Convection: The transfer of heat within a fluid and with the movement of a fluid from one place to another
14
Electromagnetic Radiation Electromagnetic Radiation: Transfer of energy by waves traveling outward in all directions Radiant energy: Energy carried by electromagnetic waves
16
Earth’s Energy Sources Residual thermal energy: Radioactive Decay: Solar Energy: Made of visible and infrared light.
