SECTION 1CONTINENTAL DRIFT
![Page 3: Unit 6 Plate Tectonics corresponds with Ch. 10 in the book Mandy Ennis Meeks Baldwin Arts and Academics Magnet School](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062519/5697c0011a28abf838cc2b0f/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
A. The continental drift hypothesis• Continents moved slowly to their
current locations.
1. All continents were once connected as one large landmass now called Pangaea.
2. The land mass broke apart, and the continents drifted to their present positions.

A. The continental drift hypothesis
3. Evidence of continental drift
a. Puzzle- like fit of the continents
b. Similar fossils have been found on different continents.
c. Remains of warm- weather plants in Arctic areas and glacial deposits in tropical areas suggest that the continents have moved.
d. similar rock structures found on different continents.

B. At first, continental drift was not accepted because no one could explain how or why the continents had moved.

SECTION 2SEAFLOOR SPREADING
![Page 7: Unit 6 Plate Tectonics corresponds with Ch. 10 in the book Mandy Ennis Meeks Baldwin Arts and Academics Magnet School](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062519/5697c0011a28abf838cc2b0f/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
A. Using sound waves, scientists discovered a system of underwater mountain ranges called the mid- ocean ridges.
![Page 8: Unit 6 Plate Tectonics corresponds with Ch. 10 in the book Mandy Ennis Meeks Baldwin Arts and Academics Magnet School](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062519/5697c0011a28abf838cc2b0f/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
B. In the 1960s, Harry Hess suggested the theory of seafloor spreading to explain the ridges.
1. Hot, less dense material below the Earth’s crust rises upward to the surface of mid-ocean ridges.
2. Then, it flows sideways, carrying the seafloor away from the ridge.
3. As the seafloor spreads apart, magma moves up and flows from the cracks, cools, and forms new seafloor.

C. Evidence for seafloor spreading
1. Youngest rocks are located at mid- ocean ridges.
2. Reversal’s of Earth’s magnetic field are recorded by rocks in strips parallel to ridges.

SECTION 3THEORY OF PLATE TECTONICS
![Page 11: Unit 6 Plate Tectonics corresponds with Ch. 10 in the book Mandy Ennis Meeks Baldwin Arts and Academics Magnet School](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062519/5697c0011a28abf838cc2b0f/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
![Page 12: Unit 6 Plate Tectonics corresponds with Ch. 10 in the book Mandy Ennis Meeks Baldwin Arts and Academics Magnet School](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062519/5697c0011a28abf838cc2b0f/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
A. Plate movements
1. Earth’s crust and upper mantle are broken into sections.
2. These sections, called plates, move on a plastic like layer of the mantle.
![Page 13: Unit 6 Plate Tectonics corresponds with Ch. 10 in the book Mandy Ennis Meeks Baldwin Arts and Academics Magnet School](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062519/5697c0011a28abf838cc2b0f/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
A. Plate movements
3. The plates and the upper mantle form the lithosphere.
4. The plasticlike layer below the lithosphere is called the asthenosphere.

B. Plate boundaries 1. Plates moving apart- divergent boundaries
![Page 15: Unit 6 Plate Tectonics corresponds with Ch. 10 in the book Mandy Ennis Meeks Baldwin Arts and Academics Magnet School](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062519/5697c0011a28abf838cc2b0f/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
This amazing photograph shows a diver in the gap between two tectonic plates. Scuba diver Alex Mustar dived 80 feet into the crevice between North America and Eurasia. The area is near Iceland and it's full of faults, volcanoes and hot springs caused by the plates gradually separating at a rate of about 1 inch a year.

B. Plates boundaries
2. Plates moving together- convergent boundaries
a. Denser plates sink under less dense plates
b. Newly formed magma forced upwards forms volcanic mountains.

B. Plate boundaries
3. Plates collide
a. Plates crumple up to form mountain ranges
b. Earthquakes are common

B. Plate Boundaries 4. Plates slide past- called transform boundaries; sudden movement can cause earthquakes.

C. Convection inside Earth• The cycle of heating, rising, cooling, and sinking of
material inside Earth is thought to be the force behind plate tectonics.

E. Testing for plate tectonics
• Scientists measure movements as little as 1cm per year.
• San Andreas fault in California moves about 2 inches per year.
