Presentation Transcript

  1. Monday, November 21st NO RTW: Grab papers at the front Objective: I will be able to identify the evidence used to support the Theory of Plate Tectonics and explain the role that different individuals have played in the development of the Theory of Plate Tectonics. Agenda: • Organize ISN • Diagnostic • Article and Summary in notebook Homework: • None 

  2. ISN Pages • Acid Test Video Questions pg. 53 • New GOW pg. 54 • New TOC pg. 55

  3. Seafloor Spreading Support • Go to these sites and read the article then in your notebook on pg. 56 • Summarize the main idea and why the Glomar Challenger and Alvin are important to the Plate Tectonics Theory. Give A LOT of support! • http://www.divediscover.whoi.edu/history-ocean/drilling.html • http://oceanexplorer.noaa.gov/technology/subs/alvin/alvin.html

  4. Tuesday, November 22nd No RTW: Have yesterday’s assignment out to be checked Objective: I will be able to identify the evidence used to support the Theory of Plate Tectonics and explain the role that different individuals have played in the development of the Theory of Plate Tectonics. Agenda: • Check Seafloor Spreading Support (You can’t participate in the lab until this is done) • Plate Tectonic Activity Homework: • None 

  5. Copy this into your notebook pg. 58

  6. DISCUSSION QUESTIONS • What happened to the frosting between the crackers?  • What do the graham crackers represent? • What does the frosting represent? • Name a specific location on the Earth where this kind of boundary activity takes place. • What type of feature is produced by this movement? • What is the process called that creates new ocean floor from diverging plates?

  7. What happens when a tectonic plate gets subducted? • Name a specific location on the Earth where this kind of boundary activity takes place. • What features are formed on the continent along this boundary? • What feature is formed in the ocean along the subduction zone?

  8. What happens to the wet ends of the graham crackers? • In what way do the wet crackers act more like the real crustal plates than the dry crackers? • What feature do the resulting ends of the wet crackers represent? • Name a specific location on the Earth where this type of boundary activity takes place

  9. Why is this movement often described as “horizontal” sliding? • Name a specific location on the Earth where this type of boundary activity takes place. • Nothing happens at the beginning, but as the pressure is increased, the crackers finally break. What do we call the breaking and vibrating of the Earth’s crust?

  10. CONCLUSION: • Give an example of how plate movement directly affects the construction of Earth’s surface.  • Give an example of how plate movement directly affects the destruction of Earth’s surface.
