17.3 & 17.4 NotesContinental Drift
• Main Points: The theory published by Wegner states that the continents were once all connected and they continually drifted apart.

Pangaea• Explain: A super-continent believed to exist about 200
million yrs ago. Look at a world map & the continents seem to fit together like a jigsaw puzzle.

Dinosaur FossilsExplain: Fossils from the same dinosaur (Mesosaurus) exist in both S. America & S.W. Africa.
Evidence Against Wegner’s Pangaea Theory: Another popular theory said that land bridges formed between continents, explaining how Mesosaurus got back & forth.

found in hot, dry Australia.

Arthur Holmes’s Evidence1944
• Describe: Holmes stated that convection within the mantle could move continents.

Technological Evidence
• Describe: Scientists found very young rocks on the ocean floor & evidence of the ocean floor spreading & magnetic striping.

Earths Mechanical LayersLithosphere
Structure: Mostly solid rockLocation: Top layer, includes continents & ocean floor.
Thickness=few km-250 km under mountains.
Describe Movement: Lithosphere is broken into 7 major plates that move atop the asthenosphere.
![Page 12: 17.3 & 17.4 Notes Continental Drift Main Points: The theory published by Wegner states that the continents were once all connected and they continually.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56649de65503460f94ade57a/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
AsthenosphereStructure: Deformable rockLocation: Found under lithosphere & above mesosphere. Makes up large portion of upper mantle.Average depth = 400-700 km.
Describe Movement: Due to convection.
![Page 13: 17.3 & 17.4 Notes Continental Drift Main Points: The theory published by Wegner states that the continents were once all connected and they continually.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56649de65503460f94ade57a/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
MesosphereStructure: Nearly solid because of high pressuresLocation: Lower mantleDescribe Movement: Influences convection in the mantle, so it indirectly leads to movement of the plates.
![Page 14: 17.3 & 17.4 Notes Continental Drift Main Points: The theory published by Wegner states that the continents were once all connected and they continually.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56649de65503460f94ade57a/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Transform BoundariesDescribe: Where 2 plates slide past each other& creates earthquakes.
Structures Created: Faults (ie.San Andreas fault).
![Page 15: 17.3 & 17.4 Notes Continental Drift Main Points: The theory published by Wegner states that the continents were once all connected and they continually.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56649de65503460f94ade57a/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Divergent BoundariesDescribe: The location where 2 plates move apart from each other.
Structures Created: Oceanic ridges. Rifts are formed where ridges split apart.
![Page 16: 17.3 & 17.4 Notes Continental Drift Main Points: The theory published by Wegner states that the continents were once all connected and they continually.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56649de65503460f94ade57a/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Convergent Boundaries
Describe: Where 2 plates smash into each other.
![Page 17: 17.3 & 17.4 Notes Continental Drift Main Points: The theory published by Wegner states that the continents were once all connected and they continually.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56649de65503460f94ade57a/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Structures Created by Convergent Boundaries
Oceanic/Continental Boundaries: Denser oceanic crust goes beneath continental crust & gets
destroyed at the “subduction zone”.As oceanic crust melts, it bulges the continental crust & creates volcanic mountains!
![Page 18: 17.3 & 17.4 Notes Continental Drift Main Points: The theory published by Wegner states that the continents were once all connected and they continually.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56649de65503460f94ade57a/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Structures cont.Oceanic/Oceanic Boundaries: When 2 oceanic
plates collide; forms volcanic island arcs as the denser, older crust sinks below lighter, younger crust. Each island arc also has a trench.
![Page 19: 17.3 & 17.4 Notes Continental Drift Main Points: The theory published by Wegner states that the continents were once all connected and they continually.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56649de65503460f94ade57a/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Structures cont.
Continental/Continental Boundaries: When 2 continental plates collide; forms mountain ranges.

Convection Currents Model
Describe: The mantle moves due to convection, dragging the lithosphere along.
Slab-PullDescribe: As plates collide, some crust is subducted & pulls the rest of the crust along with it.
![Page 21: 17.3 & 17.4 Notes Continental Drift Main Points: The theory published by Wegner states that the continents were once all connected and they continually.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56649de65503460f94ade57a/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Slab-Push
Describe: A movement caused by the force of magma pushing its way up between 2 plates.
![Page 22: 17.3 & 17.4 Notes Continental Drift Main Points: The theory published by Wegner states that the continents were once all connected and they continually.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56649de65503460f94ade57a/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Hot Plume
Describe: Columns of magma rise from lower mantle; causes plate divergence & creates hot spots (long-lived volcanoes).
