Topic: Earth’s Features Essential Question: What crustal features are created by the movement of Earth’s plates? Topic: Earth’s Features Essential Question: What crustal features are created by the movement of Earth’s plates? Plate tectonics The lithosphere (crust) is divided into tectonic plates The movement of these plates is what creates Earth’s crustal features Topic: Earth’s Features Essential Question: What crustal features are created by the movement of Earth’s plates? Types of boundaries A boundary is where 2 tectonic plates meet Topic: Earth’s Features Essential Question: What crustal features are created by the movement of Earth’s plates? Divergent Boundary When tectonic plates move away from each other Crustal features: mid ocean ridges, rifts Great Rift Valley Mid-Ocean Ridge Topic: Earth’s Features Essential Question: What crustal features are created by the movement of Earth’s plates? Convergent Boundary When 2 continental plates collide Crustal features: mountains The Himalayas Topic: Earth’s Features Essential Question: What crustal features are created by the movement of Earth’s plates? Convergent Boundary When an ocean plate collides with a continental plate, the ocean plate sinks under the continental plate (subduction) Crustal features: trenches and volcanic mountains Topic: Earth’s Features Essential Question: What crustal features are created by the movement of Earth’s plates? Transform Boundary When 2 tectonic plates slide past each other Crustal Features: faults and earthquakes San Andreas Fault What to highlight • You should not highlight everything, to start, you will highlight/underline what is in red • What we are highlighting will help us answer the essential question: • What evidence supports the theory of continental drift? Creating questions • Look at what you’ve highlighted • What you have highlighted should be the answer to your question • We will do this together Topic: Earth’s Features Essential Question: What crustal features are created by the movement of Earth’s plates? What creates Earth’s features? Plate tectonics The lithosphere (crust) is divided into tectonic plates The movement of these plates is what creates Earth’s crustal features Topic: Earth’s Features Essential Question: What crustal features are created by the movement of Earth’s plates? What is a plate boundary? Types of boundaries A boundary is where 2 tectonic plates meet Topic: Earth’s Features Essential Question: What crustal features are created by the movement of Earth’s plates? What crustal features are found at a divergent boundary? Divergent Boundary When tectonic plates move away from each other Crustal features: mid ocean ridges, rifts Topic: Earth’s Features Essential Question: What crustal features are created by the movement of Earth’s plates? What crustal features are found at a convergent boundary? Convergent Boundary When 2 continental plates collide Crustal features: mountains Topic: Earth’s Features Essential Question: What crustal features are created by the movement of Earth’s plates? What is subduction? Convergent Boundary When an ocean plate collides with a continental plate, the ocean plate sinks under the continental plate (subduction) Crustal features: trenches and volcanic mountains Topic: Earth’s Features Essential Question: What crustal features are created by the movement of Earth’s plates? What crustal features are found at a transform boundary? Transform Boundary When 2 tectonic plates slide past each other Crustal Features: faults and earthquakes Now let’s write a summary Look at each question you wrote on your own, and answer each question in a complete sentence. -What creates Earth’s features? -What is a plate boundary? -What crustal features are found at a divergent boundary? -What crustal features are found at a convergent boundary? -What is subduction? -What crustal features are found at a transform boundary?
