4
Pangaea
5
Because Wegener could not provide a mechanism for HOW the continents moved He could not explain why mountains formed in the middle of continents

Rift valleys Deep-sea trenches
7
Island arcs Subducting plate
8
Trench Volcanic mountain range Oceanic subducting plate

Folded mountain range
10
Trenches Faults Fracture zones Earthquakes
11
Divergent – created Convergent – destroyed Transform – neither created nor destroyed
12
Transform – San Andreas Fault Continental-Continental Divergent – East African Rift Valley Ocean-Ocean Divergent– Mid-Atlantic Ridge Ocean-Ocean Convergent – Mariana Trench Continental-Continental Convergent – Andes Mountains
13
Convection currents in the mantle Slab pull Ridge push
14
The mid-ocean ridge It’s where sea-floor spreading occurs
15
Crust Mantle Outer Core Inner Core
16
Crust Mantle
17
Antarctic
18
The Pacific is shrinking because of the large deep ocean trenches. The Atlantic is growing because of the large Mid-Ocean Ridge.
