Goal:Homework:Warm-up: DR 4.3 Plate Tectonics due tomorrow Locate different types of plate boundaries on the sea floor map. In your science journal Look at the diagram on p. 108 109. What happens when a continental plate and oceanic plate collide? What is this process called, and why does it happen?

Lithosphere is broken up into many plates Lithosphere is broken up into many plates Interaction between the plates causes continents to move and oceans to expand Interaction between the plates causes continents to move and oceans to expand Earthquakes, volcanoes, and other plate movement all caused by heat trying to escape from the Earths interior. Earthquakes, volcanoes, and other plate movement all caused by heat trying to escape from the Earths interior. So why is it called the Theory of Plate Tectonics?

Slide 16

Goal:Homework:Warm-up: none To draw diagrams of each type of plate boundary. In your science journal Look at this diagram of a convergent boundary between two oceanic plates. What causes the trench to form, and what causes the island arc to form?

Slide 17

Plates move laterally past each other Plates move laterally past each other Many earthquakes Many earthquakes All these strike-slip faults surrounding the ridge are called the fracture zone.

Slide 18

Slide 19

Label the San Andreas Fault on your seafloor map. Also, label the large transform boundary that cuts across the East Pacific Rise.

Slide 20

Plate are pushed together Plate are pushed together Depends on which types of plates are converging Depends on which types of plates are converging

Slide 21

Oceanic goes under continental due to greater density Oceanic goes under continental due to greater density Trench is created off the coast Trench is created off the coast Mountains created on land due to rising magma Mountains created on land due to rising magma magma

Goal:Homework:Warm-up: Study for plate tectonics quiz tomorrow To complete and label the features on a profile of the seafloor. In your science journal Without looking at your book, notes, or map, draw and label a diagram showing a convergent boundary between continental and oceanic plates. You have 60 seconds starting

Slide 37

How many different plates are there in this diagram? 1 234

Slide 38

Label the features below:

Slide 39

1.Identify the plate boundaries by placing a big letter D above the divergent boundary and placing a C above each convergent boundary. 2.What process is taking place along the ridge? What process is taking place at the trenches? 3.During subduction, a(n) ___________ plate will sink beneath the continental plate. 4.What causes one plate to sink while another floats? sea floor spreading subduction oceanic Oceanic crust is denser than continental because its more mafic in composition.

Slide 40

5.Using a green colored pencil, shade in the area where the youngest ocean rocks would be found. Then, in blue, shade in the area of oldest ocean rock. Which of these areas (green or blue) would have the thickest sediment sitting on top of it, AND why? 6.Using a red colored pencil, color in 2 areas where you would find melting rock. What happens to the melted rock, and what landforms does it produce? Blue would have the thickest layers of sediment because its older and has had more time to accumulate debris. The melted rock (magma) rises to the surface because its hot (less dense) where it creates volcanoes.

Slide 41

7.On your diagram, draw circular arrows like those in Figure 1 on p. 110 to show the circulation of the magma within the Earth. What is the name of this process? 8.Plate tectonic motion is causing the ___________ Ocean to expand, while the __________ Ocean is getting smaller. convection Atlantic Pacific
