Section 1 - Earth's Structure
Key Concepts-
- Earth's interior can be divided into layer based on chemical compostion and physical propertioes
- Scientists use seismic waves to study Earth's interior
- Continents are drifting apart from each other now and have done son in the past
Vocabulary
core, mantle, crust, lithoshpere, asthenosphere, continental drift, sea-floor spreading |
Section 2 - The theory of plate tectonics
Key Concepts-
- Earth's lithoshpere is broken into pieces called tectonic plates
- Heart from Earth's interior causes convection in the mantle
- Tectonic plates move at an average rate of a few centimeters per year
Vocabulary
plate tectonics, tectonic plate |
Section 3- Deforming Earth's crust
Key Concepts-
- Stress is placed on rock as plates move. The stress causes rock to fold and break
- The formationof mountains results from the mothion of tectonic plates
Vocabulary
folding, fault |
Section 4 - California Geology
Key Concepts -
- Plate tectonics has been the most important force in shaping CA's geologic history
- The San Andreas fault marks a transform boundary between the North American plate and the Pacific plate
Vocabulary
batholith, accreted terrane |
