‘Evaluate how plate tectonics theory helps our understanding of the distribution of seismic and volcanic events’ In 1912‚ Alfred Wegener published his theory that a single super continent named Pangaea once existed about 300 million years ago. He proposed that Pangaea then later split into two continents of Laurasia in the north and Gondwanaland in the south and that today’s continents were the result of further splitting of these two land masses. Where the plates split are known as plate boundaries

The plate tectonic theory is the theory that describes large amounts of movements in the Earths lithosphere‚ whereby Continental and Oceanic crust is moved‚ destroyed and made from this. The idea of plate tectonics builds on other concepts such as continental drift‚ where continental plates over millions of years move‚ however the concept of continental drift was not accepted for some time‚ and there were many other theories to suggest that something else took place‚ as the idea of the earth moving

Explain how plate tectonics can help our understanding of the distribution of either earthquakes or volcanic eruptions. Plate tectonics can help us understand the distribution of earthquakes and volcanoes very easily‚ it is recorded that main earthquake and volcanic zones are clustered along plate boundaries and more powerful ones are near destructive and conservative plate boundaries. Over time we have learnt that earthquakes that occur on a constructive plate boundary cause little hazard to

events are major pieces of evidence towards proving that plate tectonics theory is valid (40 marks) The theory of plate tectonics states that the Earth’s lithosphere (top layer of the Earth’s crust) is split up into rigid sections called plates that are moving relative to one another as they move on top of the underlying semi-molten mantle. These plates are either continental‚ The North American Plate‚ or oceanic‚ The Nazca Plate. Tectonic plates are powered by convection currents‚ which is the circular

Evaluate how Plate Tectonic Theory helps our Understanding of the Distribution of Seismic and Volcanic Events (40 marks) The Plate Tectonic Theory developed in the late 1960’s‚ when people noticed how continents either side of the Atlantic Ocean seemed to almost fit together. Francis Bacon‚ an English Philosopher was aware of this as early as 1620. Topographical and geological evidence built up and allowed Alfred Wegener to publish a theory in 1912‚ suggesting that the continents were once all joined
