PLATE TECTONICS

TOMMY FRAZIER 2ND PERIOD

PLATE TECTONICS

PIECES OF THE EARTHS LITSHOSPHERE THATE ARE IN SLOW CONSTANT MOTION DRIVEN BY CONVECTION CURRENTS, GRAVITY, AND SEA FLOOR SPREADING.

GRAVITY

GRAVITY PULLING ON THE PLATES IN THE SUBDUCTION ZONE HELP MOVE THE PLATES. (SLAP PULL)

SEA FLOOR SPREADING

NEW CRUST FORMING PUSHES THE TECTONIC PLAGES APART. (RIDGE PUSH)

CONVECTION CURRENTS

THE TRANSFER OF HEAT BY THE MASS MOVEMENT OF HEATED PARTICLES INTO AN AREA OF COOLER FLUID

DIVERGENT PLATE BOUNDARY

BOUNDARY WHERE THE PLATES ARE MOVING APART

RIFT VALLEY

RESULTING LAND FORM FROM DIVERGENT PLATE BOUNDARY. (LAND)

THE MID ATLANTIC OCEAN

RESULTING LANDFORM FROM DIVERGENT PLATE BOUNDARY . (SEA)

CONVERGENT PLATE BOUNDARY

THE PLACE WHERE TWO PLATES CONVERGE

DEEP OCEAN TRENCH

RESULTING LANDFORM FROM OCEAN VS CONTINENT (CONVERGENT PLATE BOUNDRY)

MID OCEAN RIDGE

RESULTING LANDFORM FROM OCEAN VS OCEAN. (CONVERGENT PLATE BOUNDARY)

MOUNTAINS

RESULTING LAND FORM FROM CONTINENT VS CONTINENT. (CONVERGENT PLATE BOUNDARY)

SUBDUCTION ZONE

THE PROCESS IN WHICH A PLATE SINKS BENEATH A DEEP OCEAN TRENCH AND IN TO THE MANTLE

DEEP OCEAN TRENCH

A LONG DEEP DEPRESIION ON THE OCEAN FLOOR

PEURTO RICO TRENCH

EXAMPLE OF DEEP OCEAN TRENCH
