Materials:
•Pencil
•Notebook
•Packet
•Lab Text D-42
Agenda:
•Bell work
•Activity 45 - Understanding
Plate Boundaries
Daily Objective:
Today we will learn how plate movement is related to
landforms and earthquakes.
Daily Question:
How does the theory of plate tectonics, explain the
locations of earthquakes, volcanoes and mountains?
Activity 45: Understanding Plate Boundaries
Procedure:
-Read the activity
- As you read complete the notes worksheet-Student
Sheet 45.1
When you are done, work on your study guide.
Convergent Plate Boundary
Oceanic/continental
asthenosphere - is a part of the upper mantle just below the
lithosphere that is involved in plate tectonic movement
Subduction - process that takes place at convergent boundaries by
which one tectonic plate moves under another tectonic plate and
sinks into the mantle as the plates converge
Ex: Andes
Mountains
Cascade
mountain
Range
Continental/Continental
Convergent Plate Boundary
Earthquakes
Mountains
Ex:
Himalayan
Mts.
Oceanic/Oceanic Convergent plate
boundary.
Ex:
Solomon
Islands
Divergent
Volcanoes
Ridges
Ex: Mid-Atlantic
Ridge
Transform
Earthquakes
Ex: San
Andreas Fault
Hot Spots
Hot Spot: volcanic
regions thought to be
fed by underlying
mantle in which
magma is trapped
and hot compared
with the mantle in
other places.
Ex: Hawaii &
Yellowstone
