2 I NTERNAL F ORCES OF THE E ARTH 4 layers of earth 1-crust Where people live; continents stuck into crust 2-mantle “hot liquid rock-magma”; like hot caramel 3-outer core 4-inner core

3 P LATE T ECTONICS Crust is divided into stiff, moving plates

4 RING OF FIRE AREA IN PACIFIC WHERE PLATE IS THINNER MORE EARTHQUAKES & VOLCANOES

5 VOLCANOE HTTP :// WWW. VOLCANO. SI. EDU / WORLD / REGION. CFM ? RNUM =13S BY REGION

6 3-MIDDLE OF PLATE LESS INTERNAL FORCES—HEAT & PRESSURE MORE EXTERNAL FORCES-WIND & WATER

7 EXAMPLE OF SPREADING-- Plate A Plate B

8 Mid Oceanic Ridge “underwater Volcano” Sea floor spreads

9 P LATE MOVEMENT FOLDING

10 PLATES COLLIDING 2 FAULT- PLATE CRACKS & MOVES

11 T RENCH C REATION —SUBDUCTION SMALLER PLATE GOES UP/BIG PLATE GOES DOWN

12 TRANSFORM—PLATES SLIDE PAST

13 EARTHQUAKE ZONES PLATES SLIDE PAST EACH OTHER

14 R ESULTS OF INTERNAL FORCES Types of landforms created Mountains, valleys, volcanoes, islands What do they look like? Higher, jagged, steep slopes Primary landforms Created by heat & pressure, plate movement

15 EXTERNAL FORCES Rock weathering Water -breaks rock down Transports rock

16 WIND Transports rocks & minerals Breaks down rocks (2 rocks run into each other0 Creates sand dunes

17 GLACIERS Heavy ice Flattens land Picks up sediment Leaves some parts behind as it moves Creates: Plains Fertile land Carves out rivers Leaves ice that will melt to become lakes

18 R ESULTS OF EXTERNAL FORCES TYPES OF LANDFORMS Plains, plateaus, alluvial fans, deltas, LOOK LIKE? Lower in elevation, rounded, smaller SECONDARY Created by external forces like wind, water, glaciers

19 C ONTINENTAL DRIFT THEORY PANGAEA Evidence #1 -Jigsaw Puzzle All continents Seem to fit together

20 EVIDENCE 2-fossil remains

21 E VIDENCE #3- SEA FLOOR SPREADING HTTP :// WWW. TECTONICS. CALTECH. EDU / OUTREA CH / ANIMATIONS / DRIFT. HTML HTTP :// WWW. TECTONICS. CALTECH. EDU / OUTREA CH / ANIMATIONS / DRIFT. HTML Sea floor spreading
