Lines of evidence that support plate tectonics

Look at maps and draw conclusions

• Pangea
• age of oceanic crust is younger at the spreading center. The ages of the rocks are symmetrical.
• convergent and divergent boundaries lead to vol + eq.

Characterize different plate boundaries

• Convergent boundaries lead to volcanoes + earthquakes
• plate boundaries lead to volcanoes + earthquakes
• transform boundaries don’t have volcanoes

Depth and locations of earthquakes to expain dynamics and structure of plate bounderies

Be able to read a seismograph and use it to locate an earthquake and understand how eq locations are used to plot plate boundaries

Layers of the Earth

Be able to describe how body body and surface waves travel through earth.

Two types of deformation (brittle/ductile) and interpret the conditions under which rocks form (temp and strain rate)
