Plate Tectonic Theory

100

• This is where active volcanoes, earthquake epicenters, and major mountain belts are found.

• What is a plate boundary?

200

• This layer contains both the crust and the upper mantle.

• What is the Lithosphere?

300

• This is how you find the epicenter of an earthquake.

• What is Triangulation?

Plate Boundaries

100

• This plate boundary moves past each other.

• What is a transform plate boundary?

200

• This stress is present at divergent boundaries.

• What is a transform plate boundary?

300

• This plate boundary is present at the Philippine Plate.

• What is convergent plate boundary?

Causes of Plate Movement

100

• This is where tectonic plates split apart from each other.

• What is seafloor spreading?

200

• This current is responsible for the movement of lithospheric plates

• What is convection current?

300

• This feature is formed where plate boundaries diverge.

• What are mid-ocean ridges?

Evidence of Plate Movement

100

• This theory proposes the movement of continental plates

• What is the Continental Drift Theory?

200

• This prehistoric supercontinent united all continents until it broke apart.

• What is Pangea?

300

• This evidence suggests the spreading of the seafloor with the help of Earth’s magnetic field.

• What are magnetic stripes?
