Plate Tectonics
Students will be able to describe how the lands and oceans are influenced by the flow of energy through the lithosphere.

Plate Tectonics
The Earth’s crust is divided into 12 major plates which are moved in various directions.
This plate motion causes them to collide, pull apart, or scrape against each other.
Each type of interaction causes a characteristic set of Earth structures or “tectonic” features.
Refers to the deformation of the crust because of plate interaction

What Lies Beneath the Tectonic Plates?Below the lithosphere (which makes up the tectonic plates) is the asthenosphere.

Plate Movement
“Plates” of lithosphere are moved around by the underlying hot mantle convection cells

Supercontinents
Alfred Wegener (1912) introduced theory
Pangaea (“all earth”)
Evidence that supercontinent existed Fossil, puzzle-like features, mountain
ranges

If you look at a map of the world, you may notice that some of the continents could fit together like pieces of a puzzle.

Spreading ridges
As plates move apart new material is erupted to fill the gap

Three styles of convergent plate boundaries
Continent-continent collision
Continent-oceanic crust collision
Ocean-ocean collision

Called SUBDUCTION
Continent-Oceanic Crust Collision

Oceanic lithosphere subducts underneath the continental lithosphere
Oceanic lithosphere heats and dehydrates as it subsides
The melt rises forming volcanism
E.g. The Andes
Subduction

When two oceanic plates collide, one runs over the other which causes it to sink into the mantle forming a subduction zone.
The subducting plate is bent downward to form a very deep depression in the ocean floor called a trench.
The worlds deepest parts of the ocean are found along trenches.
