1 GLG 103: The Way the Earth Works: Examining Plate Tectonics Lab Name Watch the video, Exploring the Geosphere: Visions of Earth. Staple your second set of definitions, the matching not the completion, to the back of this paper.. Pangaea Puzzle ctivity - omplete your puzzle, have the Prof check, then answer these questions. 1. Five lines of evidence that support the theory of Pangaea include D E 2. The scientist who developed the concept of moving continents and Pangaea was 3. What moves the lithospheric plates?. Match the items in the lithosphere and upper mantle models. Plate Tectonics & Heat may help. Match,,, D, and E with the terms below. 4. oceanic crust, dense 5. asthenosphere 6. continental crust 7. lithosphere, upper mantle and crust 8. Moho D E
2 D. Types of Lithospheric Plate oundaries (Link) Match description below with either,, or. 9. divergent boundary, occurs where plates are moving apart. 10. convergent boundary, occurs where plates move toward each other. 11. transform boundary, occurs where plates are sliding past each other. 12. subduction, a process where one plate dives (subducts) beneath another plate. 13. new lithospheric plate material is formed where the earth splits apart and magma rises to fill in the gap. E. Use The Dynamic Earth to answer the following questions. 14. Find the border between the Nazca & South merican plates. This is a boundary. 15. Explain what is happening to each plate here. 16. Find the border between the Nazca & ocos plates. This is a boundary. 17. Explain what is happening to each plate here. 18. Find the northern border between the aribbean & N. merican plates. This is mostly a boundary. 19. Explain what is happening to each plate here. F. Use the large diagram below as a reference and circle the correct answer for each of the following:
3 20. mid ocean ridge is a divergent / convergent / transform boundary. (ircle one.) 21. When ocean crust meets continental crust, the ocean / continental crust subducts. 22. continental rift zone is a divergent / convergent / transform boundary. 23. continental rift zone forms a volcanic arc or chain / rift valley that is volcanically active. 24. Island arcs, active subduction zone volcanoes, form from a divergent / convergent / transform boundary. 25. trench occurs where a plate subducts beneath another at a divergent / convergent / transform boundary.
