Evidence considers all 4 map types as well as discusses convergent and divergent boundaries: Volcanology – location relative to plate boundaries. Seismology – location as well as differences between convergent and divergent boundaries earthquakes; Geography – evidence for plate locations using trenches, island arcs, and continents. Geochronology – age of the plates near divergent boundaries vs. convergent. 1. ¶ discusses each of the geological maps (volcanology, seismology, geochronology, and geography), providing evidence for how they support the theory of continental drift/plate tectonics. 2. ¶ provides evidence from the maps or labs. Evidence considers the following four items: Seismology – location of varying depths of earthquakes along convergent boundaries. Geochronology – difference of age thickness at divergent boundaries. Geography – hot spot locations (Hawaii, Society Islands, Yellowstone). All three hot spots should be included in your analysis. Convection Theory – How does this theory provide evidence of how plates are moving. How does convection provide support to convergent and divergent boundaries? 1. ¶ discusses the puzzle fit of earth’s continents and answers the following questions: How did Wegener use this part of his theory to support his claims? How does modern plate tectonics theory help explain how the plates move? 2. ¶ provides convergent boundary and divergent boundary evidence and how it supports plate tectonics and not expanding Earth. Evidence to consider would be the location of ocean trenches vs. volcanic island arcs and why this location creates volcanoes. The relative age of plate boundaries (convergent vs. divergent differences) and why the age is different. 3. ¶ discusses how seismographs and earthquakes show that earth’s interior isn’t changing. 1. ¶ summarizes the paper reviewing each of the main categories. 2. Evidence you should review: Why must the theories of continental drift and plate tectonics be correct? Provide three key reasons with some basic comments of why it’s correct. 3. Why must the expanding earth theory not be correct? Provide three reasons with some basic comments of why it can’t be correct (evidence that is contradictory to the theory of continental drift and plate tectonics). 1. The paper generally follows all MLA formats. 2. The paper should be 8-12 pages. 3. The paper must be typed in 12 font Arial. 4. The paper must be double spaced. 5. The paper must include proper transitions between paragraphs as well as no grammatical mistakes. Listing of information will not be considered towards credit. 6. The paper must be shared with me in Google Docs. 1. Introduction a. You will start with a brief introduction into who Alfred Wegener was. Note: summarize what you have read. Do not plagiarize. b. Within this introduction you will define his theory of continental drift as well as the theory of plate tectonics. c. At the end of the introduction, state your basic case for why Wegener’s theory must be true and why the expanding earth theory must be false. Nothing elaborate; not a lot of detail since you will be providing detail below. 2. Evidence that plates and plate boundaries exist a. Using each of the geological maps (volcanology, seismology, geochronology, and geography), provide evidence for how they support the theory of continental drift. Note that copies of each map are located on my web site as well as in your schoology Earth folder. b. Remember that when providing evidence, I want specific examples from the maps or labs! Evidence you should consider in your discussion should include: Volcanology – location relative to plate boundaries. Seismology – location as well as differences between convergent and divergent boundaries earthquakes; Geography – evidence for plate locations using trenches, island arcs, and continents. Geochronology – age of the plates near divergent boundaries vs. convergent. 3. Evidence that plates move a. Using each of the geological maps (volcanology, seismology, geochronology, and geography), provide evidence for how they support the theory of continental drift. Note that copies of each map are located on my web site as well as in your schoology Earth folder. b. Remember that when providing evidence, I want specific examples from the maps or labs! Analysis that needs to be discussed in your paper should include: Seismology – location of varying depths of earthquakes along convergent boundaries. Geochronology – difference of age thickness at divergent boundaries. Geography – hot spot locations (Hawaii, Society Islands, Yellowstone). All three hot spots should be included in your analysis. Convection Theory – How does this theory provide evidence of how plates are moving. How does convection provide support to convergent and divergent boundaries? 4. Evidence that Earth is changing but not expanding a. Remember that when providing evidence, I want specific examples from the maps or labs! Evidence you should discuss: Puzzle fit of earth’s continents. How did Wegener use this part of his theory to support his claims? How does modern plate tectonics theory help explain how the plates move? What convergent boundary and divergent boundary evidence do we see that supports plate tectonics and not expanding Earth? o Evidence to consider would be the location of ocean trenches vs. volcanic island arcs? Why does this location create volcanoes? o The relative age of plate boundaries (convergent vs. divergent differences) and why the age is different. How do seismographs and earthquakes show that earth’s interior isn’t changing? 5. Conclusion a. Remember that your conclusion is a basic summary of what you just discussed. It should not introduce new material. b. Evidence you should review: Why must the theory of continental drift be correct? Provide three key reasons with some basic comments of why it’s correct. Why must the expanding earth theory not be correct? Provide three reasons with some basic comments of why it can’t be correct (evidence that is contradictory to the theory of continental drift and plate tectonics).
