PPT-Layers of the Earth and Plate Tectonics Activity

What is Geology Geo Earth Ology is the study of This activity will help us study the earth by learning what it is made of and how it can be changed 4 layers of the Earth Crust Mantle Inner core. Structure of the Earth. The Earth is made up of 3 main layers:. Core. Mantle. Crust. Inner core. Outer core. Mantle. Crust. The Crust. This is where we live!. The Earth’s crust is made of:. Continental Crust. Earth habitable. ? . Earth is the only planet in the Solar System with plate tectonics. The outer crust of the Earth is broken up into regions known as tectonic plates. These are floating on top of the magma interior of the Earth and can move against one another. When two plates collide, one plate can go underneath another.. Zachary Gallegos. University of New Mexico / Mars One. Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter Map. Plate Tectonics. Lithospheric plates sliding on the asthenosphere, above the mantle. Exists on Earth. Theory proposed in the early 1900’s. 1.Mantle. 2.. Lithosphere. 3. Outer Core. 4. Inner Core. How compressional forces are caused. . Compressional / Destructive. (subduction zones) plate boundaries occur when an oceanic plate is forced under (or subducts) a continental plate . WWK:. Earth based scientists!. One of the most modern influential geologists is a man by the name of . Alfred Wegener.. He developed the theory of continental drift. And thus laid the groundwork for modern plate tectonics knowledge.. 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. 6. th. year Geography. Learning Outcome. Revise Core Book. Chapters 1 – 3. Plate Tectonics. Earthquakes. Volcanoes. Examine the exam questions on these topics. Theory of Plate Tectonics. Earths plates move. Evidence for Plate Tectonics. Changes in Sea Floor Magnetism. Evidence for Plate Tectonics. Continents fit together like a puzzle. Changes in Sea Floor Magnetism. Evidence for Plate Tectonics. Fossils of plants and animals of the same species found on different continents. . Beloussov.

Member of Soviet Academy of Sciences (appointed 1953). How old is the earth?. How old is our earth?. Aristotle thought the Earth had existed eternally.. Early Romans believed its formation was relatively recent due to no records before the Trojan War.. 1640 – Ussher calculated Earth was created in . Theory of Plate Tectonics-. Theory that states the earth’s crust is broken into plates that float on lower mantle. Theory combines the theories of . continental drift . and . sea floor spreading . It states how and why . September 2003 I dedicate this work to my friend and colleague Rodric White-Stevens who delighted in discussing with me the geologic wonders of the Earth It seems that no subject stirs the passi Richard Palin, University of Oxford, UK;.
