• What causes plates to move?
• As the plates move, everything on them moves along with them.
• Examples:
*The North American plate moves west at a rate of 4 cm per year (1.6 in./yr)
*The Pacific Ocean plate moves northward at the same rate.
Plate Movement

• Convection currents produced in the mantle cause the plates to move.

*The North American plate moves west at a rate of 4 cm per year (1.6 in./yr)
*The Pacific Ocean plate moves northward at the same rate.

Alfred Wegener: •He was a leading scientist in providing evidence that continents were moving.
• CONTINENTAL DRIFT THEORY: *Continents are drifting or moving.
*Break-up of Pangaea occurred around 240 million yrs ago
* Over time continents broke up into smaller pieces and have drifted to their current location
*The continents are currently still moving

Continental Drift: Evidence• 180 million years ago, Pangaea began to
break up into separate continents. • Provided evidence of ancient animal and
plant remains from South America, Africa, India, and Australia that were very similar.

– Studied rock data from the Mid Atlantic
Ridge
– Found in the center of the ridge is a crack or rift.
– Magma would flow up through this rift

Harry Hess Conclusion:
– The ocean floor was moving away from the ridge on both sides.
– As it moved away, it was replaced by rising magma that cooled and solidified into new rock.
– He called this process: Sea Floor Spreading

following:
* What is effected by plate tectonics?
*How is it effected by plate tectonics?
* Why is it effected by plate tectonics?

Plate TectonicsPlate Tectonics• How does it affect climate?
* Changed the climate over the last 250 million years by constantly creating geological processes (volcanoes;earthquakes) that produced heat and chemicals in the atmosphere that would promote and support life. Climate keeps most water from freezing.
• How does it affect life? • Plate tectonics promotes diversity among animals
by causing isolation due to geographical formations (mountains).
