- Can you tell me about the Plate Tectonics Theory?
- Sure, the Lithosphere is 10-200 km and it is the outer layer of the earth which contains the entire crust in the topmost layer of the mantle
- The Outer Core is 5,11 km and its extremely high temperatures melt it the metals contain in the layer into liquid form
- The inner core has extremely high temperatures and its composed of mostly metal
- A person called Alfred Wegener believed that 200 million years ago that the continents were joined together in one large super continent and he called it Pangea
- There are 3 types of Plate Tectonics boundaries, convergent boundaries, Transform boundaries, and divergent boundaries.
- Convergent boundaries are moving towards each other, Transform Boundaries are moving past each other, and divergent boundaries are moving away from each other.
- The Plate Tectonics theory is based on the concepts proposed by Alfred Wegener.
- The Lithosphere is divided into continent sized plates that are constantly moving
- The Lithospheric plates move 1-2 inches per year.
- Boundaries are when Plates meet
- Volcanoes and mountains form as a result of convergent boundaries colliding.
- Earthquakes and tsunamis occur at convergent and transform boundaries
- The Glossary and the Kahoot code are in the google docs.
- Seafloor spading occurs at divergent boundaries on the ocean floor
- Fissures, cracks. and rifts in the surface occur on the ocean floor
