Worth 40 pionts key questions and terms notes how was the theory of plate tectonics developed? what is pangea? who came up with the continental drift theory? what does it state? what empirical evidence supports the theory of plate tectonics? why was wegener's theory of continental drift rejected? explain the relationship between the continents, the lithosphere and the asthenosphere. what new evidence led to the theory of plate tectonics? where are the tectonic plates located on earth? where are faults found? describe the three main types of plate boundary interactions: divergent boundaries: convergent boundaries: transform boundaries: what types of geological events can the following interactions produce? divergent boundaries: convergent boundaries: transform boundaries: what is accretion? what is seafloor spreading? what happens during subduction? how do the tectonic plate interactions build mountains and cause volcanic eruptions? describe each type of volcano: shield volcano: cinder volcano: composite volcano: what is the difference between body waves and surface waves? list some characteristics of each type of seismic wave: primary wave: secondary wave: love wave: rayleigh wave: how do tectonic plate interactions cause earthquakes? tectonic plate movement video: key questions and terms notes how many major plates do scientists estimate earth has? how can a plate have both oceanic and continental crust?
