    How does the plate tectonics theory help explain the existence of fossilized marine life in rocks atop the Ural Mountains? Be sure to include a description of the specific process(es).’ Continental Collisions would be a possibility as this would birth mountain building. It is a theory that Europe and Asia collided millions of years ago. Marine life would have existed in the ocean basin between the land masses. As the continents approached‚ waters would recede from between them through subduction

    Plate Tectonics Plate tectonics is the science and study of causes and relative motions of earth’s lithosphere plates. This theory proposes that earth’s outer layer is made up of plates which have moved throughout earth’s history. It is the scientific theory that attempts to explain the movements of the Earth’s lithosphere that have formed the landscape features seen across the world today. The primary natural hazards facing the islands of the Caribbean are earthquakes and hurricanes. Some of the

    Constructive Plate Boundary Definition: (Divergent boundary) - Where two plates move away from each other and new oceanic crust is formed. What is a Constructive Plate Boundary? At divergent plate margins‚ plates are moving apart and new lithosphere is being created. In the oceans‚ this has produced the mid ocean ridge system‚ which can also be described as a global range of underwater mountains. Well known ocean ridges include the Mid Atlantic Ridge‚ the East Pacific Rise‚ the Juan de Fuca

    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

    HOW PLATE TECTONICS THEORY HELPS OUR UNDERSTANDING OF THE DISTRIBUTON OF SEISMIC AND VOLCANIC EVENTS” In this essay I am going to look in detail at plate tectonic theory and how it can be used to explain seismic and volcanic events worldwide. However‚ I will also look at other potential causes of these events‚ and some evidence that does not follow the theory that all these events are caused by plate boundaries. I am going to look at a range of case studies from differing scales from all

    controlled by the convection currents rising from the Earth’s mantle. Firstly‚ one place where tectonic activity occurs is at oceanic to oceanic constructive plate boundaries. Here two plates diverge or move away from each other‚ pushed apart by huge convection currents In the earth’s mantle. These convection currents are initiated by heat energy produced from radioactive decay in the earth’s core. As the convection currents move the plates away from each other‚ there is a weaker zone in the crust
