1 Reading the Tectonic Plate Map

2

3 pic Divergent Boundary: Where plates are spreading apart. Plates move away from each other as new rock is formed between them

4 jk Convergent boundary: Where plates collide. One plate subducts under the other (subduction zone) Three types: Oceanic-Continental Continental-continental Oceanic-Oceanic

5 jk Transform boundary: When convection currents cause plates to slide past each other. Breaks in the rock layer (faults) may occur here. Faults in this area are called transform faults. High earthquake risk

9 Heat Versus Thermal Energy Kinetic Molecular Theory: All matter is made of particles. When these particles collide energy is released.

10 Heat Versus Thermal Energy Kinetic Molecular Theory: All matter is made of particles. When these particles collide energy is released. Heating an object = Particles move faster = more energy Thermal Energy: the total energy of all the particles in a solid. Liquid or gas.

11 Heat Versus Thermal Energy Kinetic Molecular Theory: All matter is made of particles. When these particles collide energy is released. Heating an object = Particles move faster = more energy Thermal Energy: the total energy of all the particles in a solid. Liquid or gas. Heat: The amount of thermal energy that travels from a hotter object to a cooler object

12 Conduction and Convection Conduction: The transfer of heat from one substance to another or by direct contact of particles Convection:

13 Conduction and Convection Conduction: The transfer of heat from one substance to another or by direct contact of particles Convection: The transfer of heat within a fluid and with the movement of a fluid from one place to another

14 Electromagnetic Radiation Electromagnetic Radiation: Transfer of energy by waves traveling outward in all directions Radiant energy: Energy carried by electromagnetic waves

16 Earth’s Energy Sources Residual thermal energy: Radioactive Decay: Solar Energy: Made of visible and infrared light.
