Effects of Plate Tectonics
Evidence of Plate Tectonics & continental drift!
Convergent, Divergent or Transform
100
What is the name of the landmass when all the continents were attached together?
Pangea
100
Draw and label a model of the Earth's 5 interior chemical layers.
teacher will determine.
100
How does plate tectonics make a mid ocean ridge?
A mid ocean ridge is two plates next to each other that are moving away from each other.
100
Where do earthquakes, volcanoes, and mountains tend to form along?
Plate Boundaries
100
Two plates that move away from each other is what type of plate boundary?
divergent
200
What is a tsunami?
Large harbor wave caused by a rockfall, landslide, asteroid, or earthquake
200
Draw a model of a divergent plate boundary. Label the 2 main features.
teacher will determine
200
How does plate tectonics lead to sea floor spreading?
Lava comes up from a mid ocean ridge. It hardens to create new sea floor.
200
How are fossils types found between continents evidence of plate tectonics?
The species that made the fossil most likely lived together at one point then the land moved later on.
200
Two plates that slide next to each other is what type of plate boundary?
transform
300
What is the theory that explains how the plates that make up the Earth’s crust move over the mantle?
Plate Tectonics
300
Draw a model of an oceanic-continental subduction zone. Label the 2 key features and the subduction zone.
teacher will determine
300
How does plate tectonics make a subduction zone?
Plates move toward each other then one of the plates slides under the other. The bottom plate begins to melt in the mantle.
300
How are rock types found between continents evidence of plate tectonics?
The rock most likely formed together then separated to different continents.
300
Two plates that move toward each other is what type of plate boundary?
convergent
400
The plastic-like layer of earth that allows the plates to "ride and shift around" on top of it...
Asthenosphere
400
Draw a model of convection currents
teacher will determine.
400
How does plate tectonics make an earthquake?
Pressure builds up and causes the plate to move suddenly or there is a friction force from two plates rubbing.
400
How does seafloor spreading provide evidence for plate tectonics?
It shows magma is coming from the ridge and hardening into new rock over time. More seafloor is being made and plate are separating.
400
A subduction zone is an example of a structure caused by what type of plate boundary?
Convergent
500
What is the rigid outer part of the Earth. It includes the Crust and upper mantle.
Lithosphere
500
Draw a model of transform and convergent plate boundaries.
teacher will determine
500
How does plate tectonics make mountains?
When plates come together, they push on each other and the land begins to pile up.
500
When looking at a map of the world, what is one clear piece of evidence for continental drift?
The continents seem to fit like puzzles!
500
What is the name of the fault line in California, that is caused by the transform plate boundary?
San Andreas fault
