1 Inside Earth 1.2 & 1.5

2 Remember convection currents?

3 Heat from Earth’s core and mantle cause convection currents in the asthenosphere

4 Heat from Earth’s core and mantle cause convection currents in the asthenosphere
REMEMBER – Convection Currents are caused by differences in DENSITY

5 The Earth is broken into separate sections called plates

6 **The Theory of Plate Tectonics states that convection currents in the asthenosphere make the lithospheric plates move. ** = Not in notes packet – Have to add it in.

7 The plates have plate boundaries

8 3 types of plate boundaries

9 Transform boundaries Place where 2 plates slip past each other
Crust is neither created nor destroyed Earthquakes occur here San Andreas fault in California

10 Transform boundaries Place where 2 plates slip past each other
