PPT-Plate tectonics webquest

Introduction We have recently studied the structure of the inside of the Earth We will now be journeying to discover the processes that shape the surface of the Earth or the crust Task Many of the landforms we see today were formed from processes that happen way below the crust Today you will begin on a journey that will help you better understand why these processes take place Also you will leave with a better understanding of how the Earths surface is continuously changing.

Ganymede’s Tectonics: Outline. 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.. as a random outcome of . time-dependent convection. Teresa Wong. Slava. . Solomatov. Theory of Earth II. AGU .

This is sometimes so extreme that it can be called xenophobia. Xenophobia is a strong fear and dislike of people from other countries and cultures. Xenophobia leads to physical abuse, intimidations, acts of violence, destruction of peoples’ properties and businesses, physical brutality, and mass expulsion of certain groups from a country. .
