PLATE TECTONIC REVIEW- Chapter 16- You may use your big plate map on the test 1. Describe evidence supporting continental drift (4 things). Why was this theory not widely accepted? 2. Where does “slab pull” occur? Include a diagram explaining slab-pull 3. Describe the following at: convergence (c-c) subduction (o-c) (o-o) divergence transform movement rock type? stress type Volcanism? type? Physical feature created? Examples 4. Describe how plates move.(2 theories) 5. Describe the fate of California. 6. Recognize plate names, interpret a plate map. (you may use YOURS) 7. Determine plate movement from transform faults. Include a diagram. How do fracture zones form? 8. How are continental shelves related to plate tectonics? Explain 9. Determine which paleomagnetism stripes match on each side of a ridge. Which are the oldest? Calculate the speed of the plate movement: 10.Describe new (post-Wegner) discoveries helped support Wegner’s idea of plate tectonics. 11. Describe the following: lithosphere- asthenosphere- tectonic plate- 12. Use plate tectonics to explain the formation of the following features (use plate names): HimalayasSan Andreas FaultAndes MountainsMt, St. HelensMid Atlantic RidgeMariana TrenchRed SeaIceland- (why an island?) 13. Describe each layer of the Earth, including the material and elements each consists of: CrustmantleOuter coreinner core (how does it produce mag. Field?)
