1 Plate Tectonics The Earth on the Move

2 Parts of the Earth Third planet from the Sun. Terrestrial planet Lithosphere

3 Pangaea Originally all of the continents were attached. Notes

4 Plate Tectonics The world is divided into PLATES Notes:

5 The Earth Moves What the movement of plates cause Volcanoes and Earthquakes

6 All of the layers are not the same. Notes:

7 Movement The parts of the Earth are always in motion. Notes:

8 Divergent Boundary Sea Floor Spreading Notes: the plates move away from each other.

9 Convergent Boundary Continental Slide Notes: the plates collide into each other.

10 Collisional Boundary Continental Crust Notes

11 Transform Boundary Slippin & Slidin Notes: the plates slide pass each other

12 Movement Along Boundaries http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/aso/tryit/tectonics/shoc kwave.htmlhttp://www.pbs.org/wgbh/aso/tryit/tectonics/shoc kwave.html Notes:
