![Page 1: Composition: Silicon, Oxygen, and Aluminum Types: › Continental Crust: solid & rocky outer layer › Oceanic Crust: thin & dense material.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649ec15503460f94bcca5b/html5/thumbnails/1.jpg)
Crust
Composition: Silicon, Oxygen, and Aluminum
Types: › Continental Crust: solid & rocky outer layer› Oceanic Crust: thin & dense material
![Page 2: Composition: Silicon, Oxygen, and Aluminum Types: › Continental Crust: solid & rocky outer layer › Oceanic Crust: thin & dense material.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649ec15503460f94bcca5b/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Lithosphere
Includes the Earth’s Crust & Upper Mantle
Divided into small and large tectonic plates that help move the continental and oceanic crust

Mantle
Composition: Silicon, Oxygen, and Magnesium
Thickest layer Convection currents are located here

Outer Core
Composition: Molten (liquid) Iron & Nickle
![Page 5: Composition: Silicon, Oxygen, and Aluminum Types: › Continental Crust: solid & rocky outer layer › Oceanic Crust: thin & dense material.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649ec15503460f94bcca5b/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Inner Core
Composition: Solid Iron & Nickle Solid because of the pressure from the
layers above Solid inner core spins in the molten
(liquid) outer core› Creates the Earth’s Magnetic Field
Hottest layer

Convection Currents
Happens in the Middle Mantle› Has hot, dense rock that slowly flows
Movement created moves the tectonic plates in the Lithosphere
Caused by hot material, deep in the Mantle, being heated by the Core to rise then cool and sink again

Magma
Molten rock found beneath the Earth’s surface
![Page 8: Composition: Silicon, Oxygen, and Aluminum Types: › Continental Crust: solid & rocky outer layer › Oceanic Crust: thin & dense material.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649ec15503460f94bcca5b/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Lava
Molten rock found on the Earth’s surface

Tectonic Plates Large pieces of Earth’s crust
(lithosphere) that can move, collide, or slide past each other
Causes:› Continental drifting› Earthquakes› Volcanoes› Mountains› Ocean trenches
![Page 11: Composition: Silicon, Oxygen, and Aluminum Types: › Continental Crust: solid & rocky outer layer › Oceanic Crust: thin & dense material.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649ec15503460f94bcca5b/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Theory of Plate Tectonics States pieces of Earth’s lithosphere are in constant, slow motion, driven by convection currents in the Mantle
Explains: › Plate formation› Plate movement› Subduction of plates
![Page 12: Composition: Silicon, Oxygen, and Aluminum Types: › Continental Crust: solid & rocky outer layer › Oceanic Crust: thin & dense material.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649ec15503460f94bcca5b/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Convergent Plate Boundary
Two tectonic plates moving toward each other and collide
Types = Creates: › Continental-continental = Mountains & their
ranges› Oceanic-oceanic = Island Arcs› Continental-oceanic = Subduction Zone &
Trenches
![Page 13: Composition: Silicon, Oxygen, and Aluminum Types: › Continental Crust: solid & rocky outer layer › Oceanic Crust: thin & dense material.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649ec15503460f94bcca5b/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Divergent Plate Boundary
Two tectonic plates moving away from each other
Creates: › Volcanoes› Mid-Ocean Ridge› New Ocean Floor› Rift Valley
![Page 14: Composition: Silicon, Oxygen, and Aluminum Types: › Continental Crust: solid & rocky outer layer › Oceanic Crust: thin & dense material.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649ec15503460f94bcca5b/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Transform Plate Boundary
Two tectonic plates that move or slide past one another› Opposite or same direction at different rates
Creates: › Earthquakes› Fault lines
![Page 15: Composition: Silicon, Oxygen, and Aluminum Types: › Continental Crust: solid & rocky outer layer › Oceanic Crust: thin & dense material.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649ec15503460f94bcca5b/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Continental Drift Theory
Continents have shifted their position over geologic time
One time, all land masses were connected to form Pangaea
Evidence: › Continents look to fit together› Minerals, fossils, and mountains now on
different continents would match if they were together
![Page 16: Composition: Silicon, Oxygen, and Aluminum Types: › Continental Crust: solid & rocky outer layer › Oceanic Crust: thin & dense material.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649ec15503460f94bcca5b/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Evidence from Minerals, Fossils, and Mountains

Sea-Floor Spreading Theory
Magma and molten material rises from the convection currents to create a divergent boundary, separating plates
Helps move the continents Oceans are spreading ~2 cm per year Creates:
› New Ocean Floor Crust› Mid-Ocean Ridges
![Page 18: Composition: Silicon, Oxygen, and Aluminum Types: › Continental Crust: solid & rocky outer layer › Oceanic Crust: thin & dense material.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649ec15503460f94bcca5b/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Subduction Process where the ocean floor sinks
beneath an ocean trench and melts back into the Mantle
![Page 19: Composition: Silicon, Oxygen, and Aluminum Types: › Continental Crust: solid & rocky outer layer › Oceanic Crust: thin & dense material.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649ec15503460f94bcca5b/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
