O Climate evidence (Coal and Glacial)
O Scientists at the time did not accept his theory
more rock and push old rock away from the ridge.
This process is called sea-floor spreading. They
also indicate that Earth's magnetic field changes
every once in a while.
O Subduction zones where old rock is pulled down
(subducted) into the mantle and recycled (melted)
Convection in the
Mantle
Mid-Ocean Ridges
and Sea Floor Spreading

Hot Spots
breaks through causing lava to flow, creating volcanic Islands or water in the crust to react to
the hot magma just below the surface, creating geysers and other geothermal features.
Geothermal
Volcanic Islands
Earthquakes
The focus is where the movement
occurs in the fault (crack in the
rock) and the epicenter is the
area of Earths surface that is
directly above the focus.
Earthquakes happen at
any fault or break in the
rock.
Compare/contrast plate
tectonics and continental drift.
O Continental drift
O Fossil and climate evidence
O Shape of continents
O Plate Tectonics
O Plate movement, mid-ocean ridges,
range
C. moves downward back into the mantle
D. moves away from the ridge and to the
