Facts● The very center of the Earth is the core, which is mostly iron and nickel. The

inner core is solid and measures 1,516 miles in diameter.● The outer core of the Earth is liquid metal – also mostly nickel and iron.

Together, the inner core and outer core are about as large as Mars. The outer core is 1,408 miles in diameter.

● Meteorites often contain bits of nickel and iron. Scientists believe they may be pieces from other planets which exploded.

● The mantle of the Earth is solid rock, but it’s not completely hard. Because of the intense heat, the mantle is moldable, like play dough. The mantle slowly moves. This movement causes earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.

● The mantle is 1,800 miles deep.● The crust of the Earth is made of granite and other solid rock. Sand, soil and

crushed rock sit atop the crust. The crust ranges in depth from 3 to 43 miles.

plate tectonicsEach of the several rigid pieces of the earth's lithosphere

which together make up the earth's surface.

Tectonics (from Latin tectonicus; from Ancient Greek τεκτονικός

(tektonikos) 'pertaining to building') are the processes that

control the structure and properties of the Earth's crust

and its evolution through time. ...

A tectonic plate (also called lithospheric plate) is a massive, irregularly

shaped slab of solid rock, generally composed of both continental and

oceanic lithosphere. Plate size can vary greatly, from

a few hundred to thousands of kilometers across; the Pacific and

Antarctic Plates are among the largest.

What is learning about the plate tectonics so important and how does it affect you?

(Class Discussion)

REVIEW

What are evidence that support my continental drift theory?

What does plate tectonics relate with the continental drift?

continental drift: a hypothesis suggesting that continents are in constant motion on the surface of Earth

Three Types of Plate Boundaries

Divergent Plate Boundariesforms where two tectonic plates separate

Landform: Rift Valley, Sea floor spreadingExample: Great Rift Valley in Africa and Mid Ocean Ridge

Divergent Plate Boundariesforms where two tectonic plates separate

Convergent Plate Boundaryforms where two plates collide

subduction: the process by which the denser plate sinks below the more buoyant plate when two plates collide

Landform: Mountain building, Deep-ocean trenchExample: Indo-Australian plate and Eurasian plate to form Himalayas Mountains (Mt. Everest)

Convergent Plate Boundaryforms where two plates collide

Transform Plate Boundaryforms where two tectonic plates slide past each other

Landform: Earthquakes and faultsExample: San Andreas Fault in California

Transform Plate Boundaryforms where two tectonic plates slide past each other
