Over the last week or so, my class and I have been studying about the Earth and all about Plate Tectonics. I have already posted a post like this just about something else. Also here, we got a little packet to read and answer questions to. Here are my answers:
What is the theory of plate tectonics?
The theory of plate tectonics explains the formation,movement, and subduction of Earth's plates. There is more than one theory for how the plates have started out.
What are the 3 types of plate boundaries?
There are the divergent boundaries which are where two plates move apart. they usually make holes in the Earth.The second one is the Convergent boundary which is where two plates come together.These ones form small or big mountains, hills. Last, there are the Transform boundaries which are where two plates slip past each other, in different directions which mostly form and Earthquake.
What is a scientific theory?
A scientific theory is a well-stated concept or idea that explains very good and a lot of explanations.
We had a map on one page and the question next to it was: What direction is the Nazca plate moving?
If I look at the information given from the map, I see that this plate is moving kind of North East, even though not all part are going the same direction.
What will happen if a rift valley continues to pull apart?
First of all, a rift valley is a deep valley, and if it will pull apart, there is a chance that it will get destroyed and fall into the Earth.
What features form when two plates come together?
Mountains,valleys,spiky crust.
What questions would you need to answer in order to predict where the continents will be in 50 million years?
Some questions could be: How far away will the plates move? Is there any change from the moving plates over the years? Where will plates meet? Will winds cause problems? Will humans be alive? Will some disaster happen and change all the movement? Is there any information from the past that can help us find out?
I am not saying that we will find answers to all, but these are some of the questions, that popped up by the question.
What are plates?
Plates are rocky surfaces that are there for us and that have their own behaviors. They move, and cause our lives to change in good and bad ways. They always move, and they are made of deposits from the mantle.
These were some questions and some answers I cam up with, hank you for reading!
