The plate tectonic theoryThe plate tectonic theory
• Plate tectonics is the theory that Earth's outer layer is made up of plates, which have moved throughout Earth's history. The theory explains the how and why behind mountains, volcanoes, and earthquakes, as well as how, long ago, similar animals could have lived at the same time on what are now widely separated continents.

PangaeaPangaea• In 1912 a German meteorologist named
Alfred Wegener (1880-1931) hypothesized a single proto-supercontinent that divided up into the continents we now know because of continental drift and plate tectonics. This hypothesis is called Pangaea because the Greek word "pan" means "all" and Gaea or Gaia (or Ge) was the Greek name of the divine personification of the Earth. Pangaea, therefore, means "all the Earth."

What is Plate TectonicsWhat is Plate Tectonics
• The Earth’s crust and upper mantle are broken into sections called plates
• Plates move around on top of the mantle like rafts

What is the What is the LithosphereLithosphere??
• The crust and part of the upper mantle = lithosphere–100 km thick
–Less dense than the material below it so it “floats”

What is the What is the AsthenosphereAsthenosphere??
• The plastic layer below the lithosphere = asthenosphere
• The plates of the lithosphere float on the asthenosphere

Type 1Type 1• Ocean plate colliding with a
less dense continental plate• Subduction Zone: where the
less dense plate slides under the more dense plate
• VOLCANOES occur at subduction zones

Type 2Type 2

• The less dense plate slides under the more dense plate creating a subduction zone called a TRENCH

Convection CurrentsConvection Currents
• Hot magma in the Earth moves toward the surface, cools, then sinks again.
• Creates convection currents beneath the plates that cause the plates to move.
