1. oneone ES-4 Objective: To differentiate among plate boundaries in order to explain how plate movement can shape the surface of the Earth. Earth Note: What are the different ways Earth’s plates can interact? Drill: 1. Get a new Lesson Sheet from the SET. 2. Use your textbook to complete Activity 1.

2. oneone ES-4 Activity 1: What Is Plate Tectonics? The Earth’s surface is broken up into 15 lithospheric plates. These plates are composed of the top part of the mantle and the crust. There are oceanic plates (more dense) and continental plates (less dense). These plates “float” on the asthenosphere, the plastic-like flowing part of the mantle.

3. oneone ES-4 PLATE TECTONICS: the theory that states that pieces of the Earth’s lithosphere are in slow constant motion, driven by convection currents in the mantle

4. oneone ES-4 The Earth’s plates are constantly moving. What are some ways they may interact with each other? a. come together (collide) b. move apart (separate) c. slide past each other

5. oneone ES-4 Predict!! How can plate movement affect the surface of the Earth? List landforms that can be created though this interaction. mountainstrenchesvolcanoes oceansvalleysearthquakes

9. oneone ES-4 Transform Boundaries An area where two plates slip past each other, moving in opposite directions Example – the San Andreas Fault in CA. Earth’s crust is neither created nor destroyed. Earthquakes occur along these boundaries.

10. oneone ES-4 Divergent Boundaries An area where two plates move apart Occur on land and on the ocean floor Example – the Great Rift Valley in East Asia. New crust is created along the boundary in an ocean, or a deep valley is created on land. (Valley could fill with water…new ocean) In oceans, ridges form. Constructive Boundary

11. oneone ES-4 Convergent Boundaries An area where two plates come together. Example – the Himalaya Mountains in Asia Collisions occur a. cont. into cont. - (mountains) b. cont. into ocean - (trench) subduction c. ocean into ocean - (trench) Destructive Boundary

12. oneone ES-4 Subduction Zone An area where an oceanic plate converges with a continental plate. Can happen where two oceanic plates collide The Ring of Fire in the Pacific Ocean. The dense oceanic crust sinks below the less dense continental crust forming a deep trench. Ocean crust is forced back into the mantle, sometimes forcing molten rock upward forming volcanoes.
