Bundle 10: Earth (Structure and Function)

‍I understand the structure of the earth, the rock cycle and plate tectonics.
==‍‍‍‍‍‍ 1. (6.10c) ‍‍(I can identify the major tectonic plates, including Eurasian, African, Indo-Australian, Pacific, North American and South American.)==

==‍‍‍‍‍‍ 2. (6.10d) ‍‍(I can describe how plate tectonics causes major geological events such as ocean basins, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and mountain building.)==

‍ Vocabulary
Rock Cycle

Plate Tectonics - Huge pieces of lithosphere that slowly move on the asthenosphere, and consist of the crust and the rigid, uppermost part of the mantle Faults

Pangaea

Mountain building - Major geological event that occurs when continental plates of equal density converge Sea Floor Spreading - Movement of plates create dense oceanic crust that sinks lower in the asthenosphere than the less dense continental crust, resulting in depressions on Earth’s surface that fill with water (OCEAN BASIN) Erosion

Weathering

Subduction - Occurs when one plate is denser than another and is forced below as the two plates converge at their boundary Ring of Fire

Plate Tectonic Theory

Earthquake - Major geological events that occur when plates shift suddenly and release stored energy; a frequent occurrence at transform boundaries Volcano - Major geological events that occur when a dense plate subducts below a less dense plate as they converge plasticity
