Plate Tectonic Model
Did you read chapter 30 before coming to class?
A. YesB. No
![Page 2: Plate Tectonic Model Did you read chapter 30 before coming to class? A.Yes B.No.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062515/56649ca35503460f94962f4e/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
So how do you move a continent?

What drives plate motion?
Forces driving plate motion• Ridge Push• Slab Pull• Basal Drive?
Forces resisting plate motion• Basal Drag?• Transform Fault Friction• Collision• Mantle Resistance
![Page 5: Plate Tectonic Model Did you read chapter 30 before coming to class? A.Yes B.No.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062515/56649ca35503460f94962f4e/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Plate Boundaries The action in plate tectonics is almost always at the plate
boundaries. Two plates moving towards each other form a convergent boundary
1. Ocean crust meets ocean crust2. Ocean crust meets continental crust3. Continental Crust meets continental crust
Two plates moving away from each other form a divergent boundary
![Page 6: Plate Tectonic Model Did you read chapter 30 before coming to class? A.Yes B.No.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062515/56649ca35503460f94962f4e/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Divergent Plate Boundaries in the oceans Extensional Stresses stretching ocean crust Creates New Seafloor Volcanoes
• Eruptions of basalt• Low in Si, high in Fe
Earthquakes• Shallow foci• Low to modest magnitudes
![Page 7: Plate Tectonic Model Did you read chapter 30 before coming to class? A.Yes B.No.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062515/56649ca35503460f94962f4e/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Partial melting of peridotite in the mantle produces basalt. Why doesn’t this process just produce more peridotite?
Different mineral components in the peridotite melt at different T’s
What will happen if only a small fraction of the rock melts?
Will the melted part have the same composition as the original rock?

Divergent Plate Boundaries under continents
Extensional Stresses stretching
Eventually creates New Seafloor
Volcanoes• Basalt and granite
(Bimodal composition) Earthquakes
• Shallow foci• Modest magnitudes --
larger than oceanic rifts.

![Page 16: Plate Tectonic Model Did you read chapter 30 before coming to class? A.Yes B.No.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062515/56649ca35503460f94962f4e/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Why do we get both high & low Si rocks at continental rifts?
Basalt is dense and ponds at base of crust
Heat from basalt melts some of the Si-rich crust producing granite/rhyolite magma
Both types of magma may eventually erupt at the surface

Why are there no volcanoes when continents collide?
No plate is sinking into the mantle and melting!
