12/17/12 Plate Tectonics Vocab
• STARTER:
• When pushing cart when mass is being added, what is going to happen to the force as mass is
added.
Homework:
•Frayer model •Word Wall
Predict• To state, tell about, or make known
in advance, especially on the basis of special knowledge.
•P
Interpret• To give or provide the meaning of;
explain; explicate; elucidate to conceive the significance of;
construe.
•P
Impact• To have an immediate and strong
effect on something or somebody
•P
Relate• To tell; give an account of, or
describe in some detail
•P
Crustal Features• Relating to or characteristic of the
crust of the earth or moon
•P
Weathering• The process by which water, ice,
wind and heat act to break down rocks.
•P
Erosion• The process by which wind, air, ice,
and gravity remove and transport material from one place to another.
•P
Deposition• The settling out or placement of
rock, particles of rock, or organic matter, generally referred to as
sediments, after transportation by wind, water, ice, or gravity.
•P
Ridge• A long narrow hilltop or range of
hills
•P
Plate Tectonics• The theory that the lithosphere is
divided into tectonic plates that move around on top of the
asthenosphere
•P
Convection Current• The circular
motion of liquids or gases caused
by density difference that
result from temperature differences.
•P
Pangaea • The single, huge continent that
existed 245 million years ago.
•P
Continental Drift• The theory that continents can drift
apart from one another and have done so in the past.
•P
Divergent Boundary
• The boundary between two tectonic plates that are moving
away from each other.
•P
Sea-floor spreading• The process by which new oceanic
lithosphere forms as mid-ocean ridges.
•P
Rift• Region where tectonic plates pull
apart; divergent boundary.
•P
Convergent Boundary
• The boundary between two colliding tectonic plate.
•P
Subduction zone• The region where oceanic
lithosphere sinks down into the asthenosphere at a convergent
boundary.
•P
Trench• A deep depression of the sea floor caused by the subduction of one plate
under another
Transform Boundary• The boundary between two tectonic
plates that are sliding past each other.
•P
Fault • Displacement of rock layers in the
Earth's crust in response to stress, accompanied by a
break in the continuity of the
rocks on each side of the fault line.
•P
Topographic Maps• the detailed mapping or charting of
the features of a relatively small area, district, or locality.
•P
Satellite Map• Satellite imagery consists of
photographs of Earth or other planets made by means of artificial satellites
•P
