    Would the world be the same if there weren’t plate tectonics? The answer is no‚ because that is how the oceans‚ land‚ and many more things were created. There would be no rocks or plate boundaries. Every living thing on earth would have to adapt to these types of things‚ if there even was living things on earth. The different types of rocks like igneous‚ sedimentary‚ and metamorphic have to go through a process to become that type of rock. Igneous is formed when magma is cooled and

    blood… it was pooling at his side. He needed to do something fast. He reached over to one of the ancient stone tables and searched. He found some old linen wraps and put them at his side. He unstrapped his ebony breast plate and took off his helmet. He then took off his breast plate. A red hot burst of pain erupted in his side‚ he screamed out in pain. That was a mistake‚ down the hall he heard the guardians awake. He was in no shape to fight and needed a plan. He looked around and saw a big urn.

    and seismic events are major pieces of evidence towards proving that plate tectonics theory is valid.’ Discuss the extent to which you agree with this statement. (40 marks) Over the years proceeding the birth of the theory‚ increasingly convincing evidence has been gathered for proof of the theory of plate tectonics. In 1912‚ Alfred Wegner proposed the theory that continents are sat upon tectonic plates and that these plates are slowly drifting around the Earth (continental drift). Since then

    the three main types of plate boundaries. How do they work? How are they similar and different? There are three different plate boundaries. There is convergent‚ divergent‚ and transform boundaries. They all do different motions. Convergent boundaries are boundaries where the two plates are coming at each other or converging. Divergent boundaries are boundaries where two plates are moving away from each other or diverging. Transform boundaries are boundaries where two plates are shearing past each

    Where two tectonic plates converge‚ if one or both of the plates is an oceanic lithosphere‚ a subduction zone will form. When crust is formed at a mid-ocean ridge‚ it is hot and buoyant meaning it has a low density. As it spreads away from the ridge and cools and contracts‚ or becomes denser‚ it is able to sink into the hotter underlying mantle. When two oceanic plates collide‚ the younger of the two plates‚ because it is less dense will ride over the edge of the older plate. The density of the

    Plate tectonics is a scientific theory that describes the large-scale motions of Earth’s lithosphere. The model builds on the concepts of continental drift‚ developed during the first few decades of the 20th century. The geoscientific community accepted the theory after the concepts of seafloor spreading were developed in the late 1950s and early 1960s. The lithosphere is broken up into tectonic plates. On Earth‚ there are seven or eight major plates and many minor plates. Where plates meet‚ their

    mostly occur at plate margins. They can also occur at hot spots and in rift valleys. The most active volcanic zone is the Pacific Ring of Fire around the Pacific plate. Here plates are colliding or separating. At active points on these plates volcanic mountains are formed‚ e.g. Nazca Plate and South American Plate‚ where plates separate‚ e.g. Pacific and Nazca Plate and in rift valleys‚ e.g. African Plate‚ Kenya. The most active area on the globe is the western rim of the Pacific Plate - stretching
