_________________. Could you explain it again?

11

P-Waves – move back and forth and through liquids and solids

S-Waves – move up and down and side to side and only through solids

By studying seismic waves, scientists realized the outer core is liquid

22

Temperature, pressure, and density all increase

33

Because of the intense pressure

44

In the ocean – oceanic crust

55

The lithosphere

66

The asthenosphere

77

Inner core – solid and outer core – liquid

88

The movement of the liquid outer core

99

Lower mantle

1010

All the continents were once part of a supercontinent. The continents separated and drifted to their present locations over time.

1111

He could not explain the mechanism that could move the continents

1212

Geologic – fit of South America and AfricaFossil – various fossils found in places

where the animals could not have traveled by water

Climate – tropical climate fossils found in cold areas; glacier deposits in Africa

1313

Mountains formed at oceanic-oceanic divergent plate boundaries

1414

As plates diverge, the sea floor spreads – or becomes larger; on the other side of the world, plates subduct so that the earth does not get larger

1515

Older rocks were farther from the ridge and younger rocks were near the ridge

The magnetic patterns in the rocks from the magnetic field reversals

1616

Deep ocean trenches are created at subduction zones as the older piece of plate once again becomes part of the mantle

1717

Oceanic crust – more dense – basaltContinental crust – less dense - granite

1818

The plate that is more dense will subduct under the less dense plate; trenches, volcanoes, and mountains can form

1919

Divergent – two plates move away from each other

Convergent – two plates move towards each other

Transform –two plates slip past each other

2020

Mountain ranges

2121

Deep ocean trenches and volcanic mountain ranges

2222

Deep Ocean Trenches, Volcanoes, and Island Arcs

2323

Rift valleys and volcanoes
