I know the plates are moving. I just don’t know how to prove it…

Plate Tectonics Theory 1950sEntire surface of earth moves, not just

continentsLithosphere-

crust and uppermost mantlePlates- broken up pieces that move over the

more “plastic” (fluid) asthenosphere

38

Significance of Mid-ocean ridgesGeologic ages- rocks near the ridge are

“young” compared to rocks far from the ridgeVery little sediment near the ridge- and an

increase in sediment further from the ridgeMagnetic anomaly bands

Bands of rock on seafloor parallel to mid-ocean ridges

Alternate between normal and reversed magnetization

Mirror images on opposite sides of ridge

percentage of ocean water?

1. Identify and describe two differences in characteristics of rock near a mid-ocean ridge as opposed to further from the ridge.

2. Describe two of the three pieces of evidence that supported Wegener’s Continental Drift Theory.

3. What do the black and white stripes on the diagram below represent?

Agenda 9/11Finish seafloor spreading labResume notesTsunami videos, article, questions

45

46

47

Magnetic anomaly bands prove seafloor not created all at once but cooled from molten material at different times in geologic history

48

Creation of the Sea FloorPieces of oceanic

crust separating at mid-ocean ridges create cracks called riftsRifts release

pressure (remove cap from soda bottle)

Allow molten material (bottled up) to reach earth’s surface, cool, solidify and form new crust

49

Seafloor spreading = process by which the sea floor moves away from the mid-ocean ridge to create new sea floor

Occurs at a divergent boundary (moving away)

50

Creation of the Sea Floor

Bill Nye Seafloor

MID-OCEAN RIDGESeafloor spreadingDivergent(plates separate,

magma bubbles up)

TRENCHSubductionConvergent(plates move

together, form trench)

Earthquakes = tsunamis

51

Seafloor Spreading and Plate Tectonics…REVIEW: Plates (in lithosphere) float on

swirling convection of asthenosphereNew oceanic lithosphere (plates) formed at

mid-ocean ridgesIf that plate also includes a slab of

continental plate, then continents move tooAs new is created, old is destroyed. WHY?

52

Lithosphere destroyed at trenchesFormed when 2 plates collide and 1 dips below

the other and sinks into mantle

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ryrXAGY1dmE

53

Seafloor Spreading and Plate Tectonics…

Seafloor Spreading and Plate Tectonics…Subduction = downward movement of platesTrenches are AKA “subduction zones”

because this is where subduction occurs! Convergent boundaries (moving together)Island arcs = volcanic island chains

associated with trenches

54

55

56

Subduction of oceanic and continental plates

Subduction of two continental plates

Why will the oceanic plate sink under the continental plate every time?????

underwater earthquake, landslide, or volcanic eruption.

Geologic Records in Ocean SedimentsStudying sediments gives clues to the history

of the earthTwo major types: 1. Lithogenous- derived from terrestrial

rock that has been eroded- most common is red clay

66

2. Biogenous- made of skeletons and shells of marine organismsCalcareous ooze- primarily CaCO3, calcium

carbonateSiliceous ooze- primarily SiO2, or silica.

These microfossils can give clues to ancient ocean temperatures

67

Geologic Records in Ocean Sediments

Geological Provinces of the Ocean

Seafloor divided into 2 main regions1. Continental

margins = submerged edges of continents

2. Deep-sea floor

68

Continental margin

Continental MarginBoundaries between continental and oceanic

crustsWhere thick sediment deposits Made of 3 parts:

1. Continental shelf- biologically rich, part of continent that is underwater. Ends at a ‘shelf break’ where shelf abruptly gets

steeper

69

Up to 6 miles of sediment deep!

Continental margin (cont’d)2. Continental slope- begins at shelf break and

descends to deep-sea floor3. Continental rise- made of thick layers of

sediments building up on sea floor at the base of the slope.

Deep Ocean Basins Abyssal Plain

Great plain on ocean floor - very flatCovers 50% of earth’s surfaceCan be interrupted by seamounts (underwater

mountains), or guyots (flat topped seamounts)Habitat of unusual marine organisms

2. What geological feature occurs at this type of boundary?

Continental MarginsTwo Types

1. Active margins- occur at plate boundaries Geologically very active- earthquakes and volcanoes trenches found offshore, no rise shelf is nearly non-existent, slope is very steep often have steep rocky shorelines

Ex- West coast of South America

85

Two types of Continental Margins (cont’d)

2. Passive margin- edge of continental crust is within a plate- no plate boundary nearby Geologically ‘inactive’ flat coastal plains wide continental shelves, more gradual slopes,

thick rises Ex- North Carolina!

Oceanic and continental crust meet at plate boundary = ACTIVE

Mid-ocean ridges and hydrothermal ventsSeparation at mid-ocean ridges creates

cracks called riftsSeawater seeps in the cracks and is heated by

rising magma

Hot water rises through the crust as hydrothermal vents (deep sea hot springs)

Nat Geo hydrothermal vents

94

Up to 600 degrees!!

95

Hydrothermal VentsLava bursting forth, bringing with it

hydrogen sulfide, or H2S, which is poisonous to living things on earth!!!

These living species not only survive in it, but they thrive. And they do it in total darkness!!!!

96

H2S skin rash (mild contact)

Hydrothermal vents Mineral rich water cools in the ocean and the

minerals are deposited, making tall chimneys called black or white smokers

Rich in unusual marine life!!!!!
