CONSERVATIVE PLATE MARGINS (TRANSFORM FAULTS): When two plates slide past each other they create a conservative plate margin. The relative movement is horizontal‚ and classified as either sinistral (moving to the left) or dextral (moving to the right). Along these margins crust (lithosphere) is not being destroyed by subduction‚ neither is it being created. There is no melting of rock‚ and‚ therefore‚ no volcanic activity or formation of new crust. Despite the absence of volcanic activity‚ these

taking seriously until the 1960. This study is called plate tectonics‚ and it helps explain the continental drift‚ the spreading of the seafloor‚ why volcanoes erupt and how mountains are formed. The mountain range that runs from the northern tip of Alaska to the southern tip of South America were formed by the buckling of crustal rocks that crash into the edge of North and South America. The land folds under the pressure of the colliding plates and pushes up sedimentary rock up to create mountains

Eurasian Plate: The Eurasian Plate is a tectonic plate which includes most of the continent of Eurasia (a landmass consisting of the traditional continents of Europe and Asia)‚ with the notable exceptions of the Indian subcontinent‚ the Arabian subcontinent‚ and the area east of the Chersky Range in East Siberia.

Plate Tectonics: An Essay By: Grace Park Science 9 Mr. Achor 11-22-11 In the early 1900’s‚ scientists began to ask questions about the earth and it’s continents. Why are the same fossils found on opposite sides of the globe? Why do South America and Africa seem to fit together like two pieces of a jigsaw puzzle? Some scientists went to rather extreme measures to explain these strange phenomenons. Others took the time to come up with detailed theories

Constructive boundaries occur when two plates move apart which causes new oceanic crust to be formed and mid-ocean ridges are created by the build-up of molten rock on the seafloor due to the mantle building up. This new crust pushes the old crust aside and forcing the plates apart at a very slow rate. Basaltic lava rises which means new crust is being added continuously. Rift valleys are formed at constructive boundaries‚ where convection current causes the crust to be pulled apart causing fractures

The History of plate tectonics Before the plate tectonics revolution of the 1960’s geographers had a very basic understanding of global geological phenomena’s. while there had been many theory’s put fort that were used to try and explain these phenomena’s none had been completely successful till finally In the 1960’s The theory of plate tectonics was put forth. It was truly a unifying concept as it helps us to explain and finally understand many different aspects of geography such as the geography

Evaluate how plate tectonics theory helps our understanding of the distribution of seismic and volcanic events. Plate tectonics is a relatively new science. It’s partially explained in the sense that we still don’t know fully about how the plates came together‚ what they were before they were the seven continents we know today. We already know‚ or have a theory‚ about what our world was like a long time ago and so if we already know that the plates can pull and push against each other‚ then surely

Plate tectonic theory is a widely excepted theory that the Earth’s lithosphere is made up of plates‚ both oceanic and continental‚ which slowly move due to convection currents in the mantle and the asthenosphere. However‚ it is very hard to be certain as we can’t see the structure of the Earth‚ so some people do not agree with it. This theory saw the introduction of what we know today to be tectonic plates. Tectonic plates occur where there is radioactive decay in the core and temperatures are extremely
