over an idea at the same time.b) New ideas become a theory when hypotheses are
proven to be correct.c) When a theory gains so much support it becomes
a scientific law.d) When observations of our natural world produce
plausible explanations.

• Prior to Alfred Wegener’s theory of continental drift geologists thought continents were fixed in their locations. In developing his theory which of the following evidence was NOT used by Wegener?a) Fossil similarities between southern continents.b) Evidence of polarity change in found along the Mid-
Atlantic Ridge.c) Similarities in the paleoclimates of South America and
Africa.d) The apparent fact the South America and Africa seemed
to fit together.

• Harry Hammond Hess Harry Hess commanding the USS Cape Johnson.• Born May 24, 1906 Died August 25, 1969
Suggested that the convection of the Earth's mantle was the driving force behind plate tectonics. .

Tectonic PlatesTectonic PlatesToday plate boundaries are determined by examining the location of volcanoes and earthquakes.
Volcanoes result from the friction (heat) of the platesmotion.
Earthquakes occur where plate rub against one another

Pangea• What is Pangaea? • Pangaea was a super continent at one time.• Scientists use the similarity of rock types and fossil types that date to the
same age to support their theory that the continents were connected to form a super continent.
• The map below give just one example of areas on different continents that show the same fossils and rock types.

This shows the pattern of reversal and we find a near perfect mirror image on opposing sides of the ridge

• Crust – solid, relatively low density silicate rock• Mantle – Semi fluid, denser, mafic (iron and magnesium
bearing) rocks• Core – Liquid then solid iron and nickel with traces of
heavier elements

• It turns out that the upper section of the mantle is adhered (stuck to the underside side of the crust to form what we call tectonic plates

Plate TypesPlate Types• Oceanic plates: basalt
– Dark (black) and dense rock type composed of silicates, iron and magnesium
• Continental plates – granite and andesite– Light colored (pink, white and
gray) and low density rock type composed almost entirely of silicates.

Why do the Plates Move?Why do the Plates Move?• No single idea explains everything but we can
identify several forces that contribute to the movement of the plates.– Slab pull
• The sinking of the cooled dense oceanic plates pulls on the rest of the plate
– Ridge rises• The material deposited on the top of the ridge slides downs from
the rise pushing on the plate– Convection
• Movement within the mantle could be part of the driving force behind the motion of the plates.

VolcanoesVolcanoes• Volcanoes are the result of hot spots within the crust
or mantle of the earth.• The hot, liquid rock will break through weak spots in
the surface and form volcanoes or flood basalts.• Many volcanoes do not release lava, instead they spit
ash and small bits of lava called lapilli.• Some eruptions are quiet with very fluid (low
viscosity) lava flows while others are explosive

Tidal waves or Tsunamis result when the low amplitude long wavelength wavesreach the shallow shoreline and begin to feel the bottom of the sea floor. This Shortens the wavelength and increase the amplitude (height).

The Theory of Continental Drift
• Continents were once in a single landmass or supercontinent that drifted apart into the continents we see today.– Supercontinent was called Pangaea
• Alfred Wegener came up with the Theory of Continental Drift in 1911.
• Used the shape of continents, distribution of fossils and rock formations to hypothesize that the continents were at one time all together.
• No mechanism until 30 years later.

Mid-ocean Ridges
• Undersea chains of volcanic mountains that run along the ocean floor.
• Have deep valleys in the center where magma comes up.

Sea Floor Spreading
• The ocean floor is moving outward from the mid-ocean ridges.– The rock closer to the ridges is younger than the
rock far from the ridges– Oceanic rock is much younger than continental
rock.– Explains how the continents move.

• Magma rises to the surface and solidifies and new crust forms
• Older Crust is pushed farther away from the ridge

Lithosphere and Asthenosphere
• Lithosphere is the rigid outer layer of the Earth.• Made of the crust and
the solid outer layer of mantle.
• Asthenosphere is the layer of “plastic” rock in the lower mantle.• Flows like a very thick
liquid.

Lithospheric Plates
• Lithospheric Plates-The rigid lithosphere is broken into blocks or plates– Also called Tectonic Plates.– Float on the semi rigid,
moving asthenosphere.

Convection Currents
Convection currents -caused by the very hot material at the deepest part of the mantle rising, then cooling and sinking again --repeating this cycle over and over.
***Remember…this heat is generated by the core!!
HOT!!!!

How Plates Tectonic Works
As magma heats up and rises, it exits through the rift in the middle of the mid-ocean ridge. It cools and pushes the plates apart. The Asthenosphere is also moving in convection currents(created by unequal heating), carrying the plates outward.

Convection
• When a substance is heated it becomes less dense and rises.
• When a substance cools, it becomes more dense and sinks.
• This creates a circular movement in the material called a convection cell or current.
