PLATE TECTONIC THEORY
Pangaea
The 7 continent connected like a puzzle
Continental Drift Theory
This Theory reveals that the continents were connected like a puzzle, Pangaea, and they slowly drifted apart due to plate tectonic movement
Continental Drift Theory
The continents started to slowly drift apart to what we see today.
Proof of the Theories
During World War II they developed SONAR to look for Submarines and it proved Plate Tectonic and Continental Drift Theory
Plate Tectonic Theory
The Earth is not one solid piece but it is made up of slow moving labs of rock that ride over the pliable layer of the Earth.
Plate Tectonic
Plate movement could cause an Earthquake
Plate Tectonic
Plate movement can cause mountains to form
Plate Tectonic
Plate movement can cause waves to form
Plate Tectonic
Plate movement can cause volcanoes to errupt
Convergence
When 2 plate converge or smack together
Subduction
Continental plate is overrides an Oceanic Plate
Rifting
The pushing up and out of Plate Tectonic
Faulting
2 Plates Sliding back and forth against one another
Weathering The Breaking Up and Breaking Down of
Rock on the Earth’s surface into smaller and smaller pieces
Erosion The Movement of Weathered material by
water, wind, or ice.
