recognize an important element of the modern day plate tectonic paradigm. What was that element and how does it weaken the expanding Earth hypothesis?
Tectonic Plates Map Worksheet - Keep this sheet so you may study for your test. We will review answers in class. (20 pts) Directions: Use the map above to answer the questions below. 1. What plate do residents of Tallahassee Florida live on?
Describe the relative motion between the North American Plate and the Pacific Plate. These two plates are sliding past each other in some areas and converging in others.
Instructions: Color each tectonic plate a different color. Cut along the black outlines to cut out the different tectonic plates. Arrange and then paste the plates on the blank page to create a world map. Hint: Use the land masses and the shape of each plate to fit the plates together. DO NOT PRINT THIS PAGE DOUBLE-SIDED.
A tectonic plate is a large, solid plate of the Earth's crust and uppermost mantle, which is moved by convection currents from the asthenosphere and other underlying heat sources. There are dozens of these plates. They’re mobile, often shifting and colliding to drive change on the planet's surface.
plate tectonics states that Earth’s surface is made of rigid slabs of rock, or plates, that move with respect to each other, or in relation to each other. This new theory suggested that Earth’s surface, the lithosphere, is divided into large pieces of rock. These pieces are called plates.
The Theory of Plate Tectonics Worksheet. Objective: Gather evidence to explain the theory of plate tectonics. Materials: Work in pairs sharing one computer with Internet access. Engage: 1. What continent do you live on? Can you think of any ways the continent has changed over time? Explore: Navigate to the Earthquakes Living Lab at.
