... Plate Tectonics The theory of plate tectonics was first proposed by Alfred Wegener in 1910. Wegener noticed that the shorelines of the continents seemed to ‘fit together’ like the pieces of a giant jig saw puzzle. Wegener’s theory stated: 1) The continents were once all together in one place formin ...

NOTES Plate Tectonics
... The Theory of Plate Tectonics combines what geologists know about sea floor spreading and continental drift into one theory. It states that the Earth is divided into pieces of the lithosphere, called plates and these are in constant motion, driven by convection currents in the asthenosphere. 1. Seis ...

The Structure of the Earth
... The earth has a solid inner core made mostly of iron and nickel. It is solid because it is under so much pressure: all the rest of the earth is pressing down on it. Its temperature is about 7000 degrees Kelvin (about 12,000 degrees Fahrenheit) -- hotter than the surface of the sun! The outer core is ...

History of geology
The history of geology is concerned with the development of the natural science of geology. Geology is the scientific study of the origin, history, and structure of the Earth. Throughout the ages geology provides essential theories and data that shape how society conceptualizes the Earth.
