wwwiriseduieb Exercise http wwwiriseduhqresourceafricanmystery How do earthquakes provide evidence of plate tectonics With a partner choose a type of plate boundary Divergent Convergent. Simplified Plate Tectonics MapPlate boundary - Known area between two plates.Some plate boundaries, such as the North America - South America boundary, are not shown because scientic dataare inadequa Structure of the Earth. The Earth is made up of 3 main layers:. Core. Mantle. Crust. Inner core. Outer core. Mantle. Crust. The Crust. This is where we live!. The Earth’s crust is made of:. Continental Crust. Earth habitable. ? . Earth is the only planet in the Solar System with plate tectonics. The outer crust of the Earth is broken up into regions known as tectonic plates. These are floating on top of the magma interior of the Earth and can move against one another. When two plates collide, one plate can go underneath another.. Zachary Gallegos. University of New Mexico / Mars One. Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter Map. Plate Tectonics. Lithospheric plates sliding on the asthenosphere, above the mantle. Exists on Earth. Theory proposed in the early 1900’s. Volcanism is mostly focused at plate margins. Pacific Ring of Fire. This map shows the margins of the Pacific tectonic plate and surrounding region. The red dots show the location of active volcanism. Notice how the majority of the volcanism is focused in lines along the plate boundaries? For this region is the area known as the “Pacific Ring of Fire”.. Volcanism is mostly focused at plate margins. Pacific Ring of Fire. This map shows the margins of the Pacific tectonic plate and surrounding region. The red dots show the location of active volcanism. Notice how the majority of the volcanism is focused in lines along the plate boundaries? For this region is the area known as the “Pacific Ring of Fire”.. 6. th. year Geography. Learning Outcome. Revise Core Book. Chapters 1 – 3. Plate Tectonics. Earthquakes. Volcanoes. Examine the exam questions on these topics. Theory of Plate Tectonics. Earths plates move. Beloussov. (1907-1990). Famous opponent of plate tectonics. Structural Geologist and Geodynamicist. Director of Geodynamics . Dept. , . Inst. of the Physics of the Earth. Member of Soviet Academy of Sciences (appointed 1953). Chapter 5. 5.1 Vocabulary Terms. Continental drift. Pangaea. Fossil . Wegener’s Hypothesis (. pg. 164). In 1915, Wegener hypothesized that all the continents were once joined together in Pangaea about 300 million years ago and have since drifted apart.. Plate Tectonics With Fruit Rollups and Graham Crackers Objective and Essential Questions Objective: Use models to describe how tectonic plates cause major geological events such as; ocean basins, earthquakes, volcanoes, and mountain building. : Western US. Authors: Ruth Powers (UNAVCO Master Teaching-in-Residence); . Becca Walker and Shelley Olds (UNAVCO). Activity Outcomes. Learners should be able to…. Describe how the locations of earthquakes, volcanoes, and velocity vectors from GPS stations in the Western United States inform us about plate boundary zones. Structure of the Earth. What are the different layers of the Earth?. Structure of the Earth. Inner core. 6000. °C. Solid metal. Structure of the Earth. Outer core. 4500-6000. °C. Liquid metal. Structure of the Earth. p. otential hotspot. p. otential hotspot. Based on illustration by . Lidunka. . Vočadlo. , University College London. We propose this scenario: . Layered Mantle Convection. Location of the boundary can be adjusted to suit different needs.. Enter . Silently. Grab Materials. Begin Do Now. Write in your planner for the week. Open your notebook to the front of page 17. .
