Who was Alfred Wegener?
What evidence did Alfred
Wegener have?
Today’s Goal
I can explain the
processes that shape the
Earth.
Today’s Plan
1.REVIEW
2.Finish projects
District CFA is over:
1.Layers of the Earth
2.Plate Tectonics (convection,
evidence)
3.Rock Cycle
4.Rocks vs Minerals

Convection happens in the ASTHENOSPHERE
Let’s take a closer look at how this works:
COOL by crust
Heat gives
particles more
energy and
they spread
apart
becoming less
dense
Particles lose
energy, slow
down and
move together,
becoming
more dense
HEAT from core
Which of the following is NOT
evidence for Plate Tectonics Theory?
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Earthquakes and Volcanoes
Nuclear fusion
Matching fossils on different continents
Hurricanes and Typhoons
Tornadoes
The way the continents fit together
Matching rock layers on different continents

Plate Boundaries
• Three types of Plate Boundaries:
– DIVERGENT: Where two plates move APART.
-CONVERGENT: Where two plates come TOGETHER.
Plate Boundaries
• Types of Plate Boundaries:
– TRANSFORM: Where two plates slide past
each other, moving in opposite directions.

causes each landform:
