Plate Tectonics Chart Amanda Wright GLG 150 February 24‚ 2013 Karen Hansen Plate Tectonics Chart 1) How does the motion of the tectonic plates affect the climate? Climate can be affected by many things. One of the biggest affects may be the motion of the tectonic plates. The Earths plates have been in motion approximately since its beginnings or shortly after‚ continuously causing climate to change. The Earth’s movement of plates as well as the apparent polar wandering can both play a role

The Pacific Ring of Fire (see below) Tectonic plates of the world. The Pacific Ring of Fire (or just The Ring of Fire) is an area where a large number of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur in the basin of the Pacific Ocean. In a 40‚000 km (25‚000 mi) horseshoe shape‚ it is associated with a nearly continuous series of oceanic trenches‚ volcanic arcs‚ and volcanic belts and plate movements. The Ring of Fire has 452 volcanoes and is home to over 75% of the world’s active and dormant volcanoes

Features Plate tectonics theory‚ which is the modern theory of the motions of Earth’s layer‚ explains how geological features‚ such as mountain ranges‚ continents‚ and bodies of water move and form. An important aspect of plate tectonics theory is that the outer layer of the earth is divided into plates which move across the earth’s surface. “These plates move relative to each other‚ typically at rates of 2-4 inches per year. As the plates move‚ they interact along their boundaries” (Plate Tectonics)

1. Compare the age of igneous rock found near the mid-ocean ridge with that of igneous rock found farther away from the ridge. The ages of the igneous rock found near the mid-ocean ridge was younger than the igneous rock found farther away from the ridge. This is because of convection currents. Magma rises because it is less dense. It is forced out of the ridge‚ it spreads apart‚ and when it cools‚ it becomes new seafloor. This is why newer seafloor (igneous rock) is younger when it is closer to
