Assess the strength of the relationship between tectonic processes and major landforms on the earth’s surface. Tectonic processes have been responsible for the major landforms across the Earth’s surface. These processes are controlled by the convection currents rising from the Earth’s mantle. Firstly‚ one place where tectonic activity occurs is at oceanic to oceanic constructive plate boundaries. Here two plates diverge or move away from each other‚ pushed apart by huge convection currents

including volcanic eruptions at both constructive and destructive boundaries‚ hotspots‚ sea floor spreading‚ paleomagnetism‚ and seismic earthquakes. However‚ not all of the evidence supporting plate tectonics comes from volcanic and seismic events; other evidence includes continental fit‚ geological evidence‚ biological evidence‚ climatological evidence and other activity at destructive plate margins. At a hotspot‚ the underlying mantle is hotter than average causing ‘mantle plumes’ to rise to

Earth.The tallest volcano on Earth is Mauna Kea‚ one of the 5 volcanos that make up the Big Island of Hawaii. Mauna Kea is part of the network of volcanos above the Hawaiian hotspot. The tectonic plate that has the Hawaiian islands is slowly moving above the hotspot‚ and it recently carried Mauna Kea away from the hotspot. Scientists believe that Mauna Kea is now dormant; it last erupted about 4‚500 years ago. Although‚ researchers do think it’s going to erupt again‚ the time between eruptions is

CONSERVATIVE PLATE MARGINS (TRANSFORM FAULTS): When two plates slide past each other they create a conservative plate margin. The relative movement is horizontal‚ and classified as either sinistral (moving to the left) or dextral (moving to the right). Along these margins crust (lithosphere) is not being destroyed by subduction‚ neither is it being created. There is no melting of rock‚ and‚ therefore‚ no volcanic activity or formation of new crust. Despite the absence of volcanic activity‚ these

The Structure of the Earth and Plate Tectonics Structure of the Earth Mantle • The Earth is made up of 3 main layers: Outer core Inner core – Core – Mantle – Crust Crust The Crust • This is where we live! • The Earth’s crust is made of: Continental Crust Oceanic Crust - thick (10-70km) - buoyant (less dense than oceanic crust) - mostly old - thin (~7 km) - dense (sinks under continental crust) - young How do we know what the Earth is made of? • Geophysical surveys: seismic‚ gravity‚

have been labeled as Language Hotspots. In these hotspots‚ languages are near extinction. There are a few Language Hotspots in the United States that we as American’s should know about and strive to help preserve. The Living Tongues Institute for Endangered Languages and the Enduring Voices Project has taken up a leading role in documenting these indigenous languages that are threatened by extinction. These people travel all over the world and to these Language Hotspots to conduct documentations

As many as 187 hotspots were picked up by satellites on 18 June 2013‚ down to 85 on 20 June 2013. On 23 June 2013‚ 119 hotspots were detected. On 24 June 2013‚ 159 hotspots were detected in Riau‚ out of a total of 227 detected in Sumatra. An air force officer explained that the low number of hotspots detected on some days was due to heavy cloud cover‚ which prevented the satellite from detecting some of the hotspots. The Malaysia Department of Environment said that 173 hotspots were detected in
