PPT-Major Tectonic Plate Shifts

in the Indian Ocean. Evolution of the Earth. Cracks in the Earth’s Crust. The . crust. , when it is solid, acts as a . heat insulator. for the hot interior of the Earth.. The molten material in the mantle, . magma. , below the crust builds up tremendous heat and pressure. . Volcanism is mostly focused at plate margins. Pacific Ring of Fire. This map shows the margins of the Pacific tectonic plate and surrounding region. The red dots show the location of active volcanism. Notice how the majority of the volcanism is focused in lines along the plate boundaries? For this region is the area known as the “Pacific Ring of Fire”.. Finding Euler poles. T. ransform faults. Spreading center rates. Slip vectors from earthquakes along the boundary. Geodetic measurements . . (GPS, VLBI). Euler poles. North America. Pacific. Cocos. Nazca. 4 Layers of the earth. 7 main plates of the earth. 3 main plate boundaries. 2 types of crust. 3 main features of plate tectonics (F.E.E.D). 3 main theorists and theories. Human interaction. Structure of the Earth. What to do: identify the features in the photos, make notes about landforms, describe and explain case studies . Levelled Objectives. . (What are we learning?). L1. identify tectonic landforms. L2. describe & explain landforms. Volcanism is mostly focused at plate margins. Pacific Ring of Fire. This map shows the margins of the Pacific tectonic plate and surrounding region. The red dots show the location of active volcanism. Notice how the majority of the volcanism is focused in lines along the plate boundaries? For this region is the area known as the “Pacific Ring of Fire”.. Plates. by. Katie . Lanoue. and Jeanine Brown. The Formation of a Theory. In 1915, a German scientist named Alfred Wegner came up with the theory of continental drift.. His hypothesis was that all the continents were once connected to form a supercontinent called Pangaea.. Turner – Skiff Mountain Tectonic Unit. Turner – Skiff Mountain Tectonic Unit. Turner – Skiff Mountain Tectonic Unit. Background. Walton and deWaard, basement hypothesis, 1962,. n. ow discredited.. Today’s Agenda. Objective: To explain the change in price and quantity when there is a shift in both supply and demand. . Essential Skill: To demonstrate an understanding of concepts. . Review of Single Curve Shifts. TECTONIC PROCESSES AND HAZARDS REVISION SUMMARY Aim: To create summary mind maps for each sub section To look at some typical A level style questions Kilauea: Earthquakes follow eruptions from Hawaii volcano (May 5 (. NOAA).. PART 1: Plate boundaries of 12 major plates. Kious. and Tilling, USGS. PART 1: Topographic/Bathymetric trends (eastern margin of the Pacific plate). (modified from NOAA).. PART 1: Trends in earthquake and volcano distribution; hot spot trends. Ghafoor. 5. th. hour. 12-9-16. Oceanic V.S Continental Crust . Oceanic Crust . It is composed of several layers, not including the overlying sediment. . Oceanic crust is about 6 km (4 miles) thick.. Earthquakes. Earthquakes occur throughout the world but predominately on. plate boundaries. . For example the San Andreas Fault, a conservative plate margin. Furthermore, earthquakes also occur on the constructive plate boundaries of the Mid- Atlantic Ridge, although these are not as severe. menopausal hospital workers. How scheduling freedom can support a healthy workforce. Night shifts and the menopause are two of the largest hormonal rhythm disturbances in a woman’s life. Now that disruptions in circadian rhythmicity have been shown to be able to stack.
