In this section you can find information based on Plate Techtonics, Boundaries, and Pangaea. All my information is on one page, you can scroll down to find all the information required. :)
PLATE TECHTONICS
Every year a plate would move about 2 centimeters a year. The plates are all moving in different directions. The plates are made of rock and they drift all over the globe, they move both horizontally and vertically.
DIVERGENT
A Divergent boundary is a area were continental or oceanic plates are moving away from each other and creating new crust. Divergent boundaries are boundaries between two tectonic plates.
TRANSFORM
Transform Plate Boundaries are locations where two plates slide past one another. The fracture zone that forms a transform plate boundary is known as a transform fault. Most transform faults are found in the ocean basin and connect offsets in the mid-ocean ridges. A smaller number connect mid-ocean ridges and subduction zones.
CONVERGENT
In plate techtonics a convergent boundary is an activley deforming region were two techtonic plates of fragments of lithosphere move toward one another and collide. As a result of pressure, friction, and plate materials, are melting in the mantle. Earthquakes and volcanoes are common near convergent boundaries.
PANGEA
Pangea-Wegener hypothesis that at one point all of the continents were part of one super continent called Pangea. The evidence came from the shape of the land fossils, land forms, and the ancient ice age. Matching animal fossils have been found on different sides of the ocean. Land forms like mountain ranges and rock formations, match on different continents.
