  1. Daily Work • _________ Layer of molten iron and nickel that surrounds the inner core. • _________ Thinnest, outermost layer of Earth; ranges from 5 to 100 km thick. • _________ Name of the theorized super continent. • _________ Rigid layer consisting of the crust and uppermost part of the mantle. • _________ Dense sphere of solid iron and nickel. • _________ Soft layer of the mantle on which pieces of lithosphere slowly float. • _________, ________, __________, _____________ Four details that support Alfred Wegener’s Theory of Continental Drift.

  2. How are plate movements related to the processes ofthe Earth?

  3. Create Flipbook • Hamburger fold • 3 flaps • Convergent Boundary • Divergent Boundary • Transform Boundary

  4. Convergent Plate Boundaries • plates move towards each other • Continent/continent • High mnts form • Continent/ocean • Subduction occurs • Trenches form • Volcanoes form • Strong earthquakes

  5. Divergent Plate Boundary • plates move away from each other • mid-ocean ridges created through a crack in underwater crust • new crust is formed

  6. Transform Plate Boundaries • Crust neither created nor destroyed • Earthquakes created from stress released when the plates slide along each other • Example: • San Andreas fault in California

  7. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/aso/tryit/tectonics/# Time to predict!

  8. Tectonic Plates • Earth’s crust is broken into pieces called plates • These plates are part of the lithosphere and move on top of the asthenosphere • Boundaries are drawn by studying earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
