Sea-Floor Spreading Lab

Sea-Floor Spreading Lab

Dynamic Earth. Sea-Floor Spreading Lab. Introduction: According to the theory of plate tectonics (from the Greek, tetko, builder ) the Earth s crust is broken into many slowly moving plates. Sea Floor Spreading occurs at the mid-ocean ridge where two.

VEST 96, Plate Tectonics

Kahua A o: Plate Tectonics. Plate Tectonics has revolutionized geological thinking since the early 1960s. In essence Plate Tectonics says 2 things. 1. THE EARTH S SURFACE IS DIVIDED INTO A NUMBER OF PIECES (THE PLATES), AND. 2. THE PLATES MOVE. First, a little history.

Investigative Question

Individual and Team Project

Individual and Team Project

Individual and Team Project. Modified from. The purpose of this activity is to investigate how particle size affects the angle of a volcano's slope. The most exciting volcanic eruptions are dramatic explosions, involving gas and/or water mixed with magma.

Deformation of the Crust

Deformation of the Crust

Deformation of the Crust. Pangaea was assembled 290 m.y. Continental collision produced the interior mountains Appalachian - Caledonian, Hercynian, and Urals. Features preserved in these uplifted areas allow the geologist to ÒseeÓ the ancient oceans that were destroyed in the process.
