Plate Tectonics
Boundaries Volcanoes Earthquakes Random
Tectonic is from the Latin word meaning __________________
This word means “whole Earth”
This is the term used for the “recycling” of the Earth’s crust
Alfred Wegner developed the idea of _________ _____________
Continental Drift (Pangaea)
The scientist who developed the idea of sea floor spreading
The three types of boundaries are
Convergent, divergent, transform
Rifts and ridges are a result of this type of boundary
Convergent boundaries can result in these three formations
Volcanoes, mountains, trenches
A transform boundary results in this.
Earthquake or
Fault
Name these boundaries
Transform, Divergent, Convergent
Volcanoes are ____________ ________ that release energy from deep within Earth
The world’s most active volcanic zone
Where active volcanoes are found
Convergent Plate Boundaries

How does a volcano form?
Volcanoes form at a Convergent Boundary where magma forces its way up through weak spots in
the Earth’s crust
Where do earthquakes usually occur?
What is the epicenter of an earthquake?
The place on the Earth’s crust where movement first occurs
What is used to measure earthquakes?
What type of ground and magnitude would create the most dangerous earthquake?
Fault LineHigh Magnitude
How does an earthquake occur?
Plates within the Earth suddenly break or shift under stress, sending shock waves rippling
through the mantle
What role do convection currents play in plate tectonics?
Cause the plates to move
What is subduction?
Recycling of tectonic plates
Where was the most deadly earthquake?
How did the Milky Way represent the earth?
Chocolate – crustCaramel – asthenosphere
Nougat – inner core
What might our future planet look like because of plate tectonics?
