Theory of Plate Tectonics
Lithosphere is made of sections called plates that move around called continental driftPlates move because they float on the asthenosphereMost plates consist of ocean and continental crust2 ocean plates: Nazca and Philippine

Theory of Plate Tectonics Cont.
Supercontinents: one large landmass of all continents. Happened 3x. Last called Pangea Ref Table p9Plates fit together like puzzle piecesSimilar fossils are found on many continents. Example: GlossopterisMountain ranges match as far as rock structure, age, shape and position

Plate Boundaries
Divergent Boundary: plates move apart magma rises creating new land by intrusions and extrusions. Also called sea floor spreading– Produces shallow earthquakes– On a continental crust, a rift valley will form
with mountains created by faulting and volcanic activity

Plate Boundaries Cont.
– In the ocean crust, a mid-ocean ridgeforms from faulting and volcanic activity - a mountain range with a rift valley on the ocean floor
– Result: Older rock is near the continents– Symbol:

Plate Boundaries Cont.
Convergent boundaries: 3 types: ocean-ocean, ocean-continent, continent-continent– In ocean-ocean and ocean-continent the crust
comes together and the denser plate sinks under the other called subduction
– Subduction results in ocean trenches and volcanic islands formed
– Earthquake activity along the subducting plate– Contact and regional metamorphism occur

Plate Boundaries Cont.– Young mountains: ocean-continent will produce
mountains on the overriding plate as friction from the subducting plate causes the rock in the overriding plate to melt. Ex. Cascades in Oregon, Washington
– Mountain building is called orogeny– In continent-continent, the crust is pushed
upwards creating the highest mountains -Himalayas

Driving Force of Plate Tectonics
Mantle convection pushes plates apart at divergent boundariesEnergy for convection comes from: heat from earth’s interior causes less dense melted rock to rise, gravity pulls down cooler rock

Hot Spots
Volcanic activity in the center of platesExamples: Hawaii, Yellowstone National Park, Adirondack Mountains NYRising magma remains stationary and as the plate moves the magma rises in different spotsRegions of intrusive and extrusive activity

Effect of Plate Tectonics
Continents appear to be puzzle pieces because of the breakup of PangeaSimilar rocks, minerals, fossils, mountain ranges where the puzzle pieces fit togetherVariation in life forms comes from evolutionSimilar fossils on all continents of plants and animals could only happen if connectedPlate movements have changed landmass locations

Effect of Plate Tectonics Cont.
Basaltic igneous rock forms at the mid-ocean ridge so the older rock is the continents, younger rock is near the ridgeHottest rock is near the ridgeMagnetic polarity: magnetic poles flip-flop. Reason unknown. Polarity is detected in the rocks on both sides of the ridge. Polarity is symmetricalRef Table p5

Earthquakes
Definition: a natural rapid shaking of the lithosphere caused by the release of stored energy in rockCaused: movement of rocks along faults, usually along the borders of continents and oceansFocus: origin of the earthquake where energy is given off in seismic waves

Earthquakes Cont.
Earthquake waves:– P wave: primary wave, travels in direction
the waves are moving, travels through solid, liquid, gas
– S wave: secondary wave, travels at right angles to the direction of movement. Moves ONLY in SOLIDS
– L Waves: surface waves cause damage

Earthquakes Cont.
Properties of waves:– P waves are the fastest, S is the second fastest– Velocity depends on material - The more dense,
the greater the velocity– Waves passing from one density to another are
bent or refracted– Pressure , velocity

Locate the Epicenter
Use 3 seismograms: the distance to each epicenter is drawn as the radius of a circle. The point where the 3 meet is the epicenterRead the seismogram: read times for the S and P waves. The larger the time difference, the further away the quake is
![Page 28: Plate Tectonics - St. Agnes Academic High School...Plate Boundaries Cont.

Locate the Epicenter Cont.
Subtract: S-P= time differenceRef Table p11 and scrap paper: mark scrap with the time difference. Place the 0 mark on the P line and slide in the graph until the Time mark touches the S line. Then look at the X axis and reach the epicenter distance

Locate the Epicenter Cont.
Use the epicenter distance for each seismogram to draw a circle using the map scale. Epicenter is any place on the circleEpicenter: mark with an X the place where the 3 circles cross.Need 3 circles because 2 circles gives you 2 possible locations of the epicenter
