  1. (Mon) Unassigned Day – No school

  2. (Tue) The word “Tectonics” came from a Greek word. What was this Greek word, what did it mean, and which scientist first came up with the theory of Plate Tectonics? (3 pts / 5 min)

  3. (Tue) The word “Tectonics” came from a Greek word. What was this Greek word, what did it mean, and which scientist first came up with the theory of Plate Tectonics? (3 pts/5 min) What is Greek word Tekton What does it mean Builders or Building Name of Scientist Alfred Wegner

  4. (Wed) There are 3 types of boundaries between tectonic plates. What are the names of the 3 types of boundaries and what direction do the plates move? (6 pts / 5 min)

  5. (Wed) There are 3 types of boundaries between tectonic plates. What are the names of the 3 types of boundaries and what direction do the plates move? (6 pts/5 min) Names of Types Direction of Motion Divergent Apart (away) Convergent Towards (together) Transform Side-to-side (along)

  6. (Thu) Scientists use 2 pieces of evidence to support the theory of plate tectonics – specifically that sea floor spreading was happening. What is this evidence and Describe each type. (5 pts / 5 min)

  7. (Thu) Scientists use 2 pieces of evidence to support the theory of plate tectonics – specifically that sea floor spreading was happening. What is this evidence and Describe each type. (5 pts/5 min) 1. The age of the rocks around a mid-ocean ridge As you get farther from the center of the ridge, the rocks get older The rock ages are the same on both sides of the ridge (mirror) 2. Paleomagnetism of the rocks on the sea floor The rock magnetic pattern changes as you get farther from the center giving a “zebra pattern” The patterns are the same on both sides of the ridge (mirror)

  8. Remember – Extra Credit is Due Tomorrow To help you find it….. 34.232840294, -118.555203921 (nrid)

  9. (Fri) What two geographic features would you expect to see at an ocean – continent convergent zone and where would you expect to find them? (5 min / 4 pts)

  10. (Fri) What two geographic features would you expect to see at an ocean – continent convergent zone and where would you expect to find them? (5 min/4 pts) Subduction Trench Found off shore Volcanic Mountain Chain Found on the land

  11. End of Week Procedures • Add up all the points you got this week • Put the total number of points out of 18 points you earnedat the top of your page (no total, lose 5 points) • List any dates you were absent or tardy (and why) • Make sure your name and period # is on the top of the page (no name, no credit) • Turn in your papers

  12. (Fri) Magma rises to push apart plates at divergent boundaries. If magma is just really hot rocks, why does magma rise? (5 min / 3 pts)

  13. (Fri) Magma rises to push apart plates at divergent boundaries. If magma is just really hot rocks, why does magma rise? (5 min/3 pts) Really hot magma is less dense than the other magma around it If something has a lower density, it floats So the hot magma rises because it floats up through the cooler magma around it
