Plate Tectonics‚ Earthquakes‚ and Volcanoes Renee Kuraly 1. There are 13 tectonic plates. (several smaller ones) 2. Evidence for continental drift includes: coastline fit‚ alignment of mountain ranges‚ similar rock sequences‚ fossils‚ modern fauna‚ and ancient climates. 3. We know plate boundaries exist because their defined by earthquake data and the depths of earthquakes show what type of boundary they are. 4. Divergent Boundary- places where plates are moving apart. Convergent Boundary-

‘The hazards presented by volcanic and seismic events have the greatest impact on the world’s poorest people’ to what extent do you agree with this view? (40 marks) Volcanic and sesmin events and activities can take place all over the world and therefore both more economically developed countries (MEDCs) and less economically develop countries (LEDCs) can be affected. In the last 30 years there have been masses of examples of where volcanic and seismis event have had an impact on both MEDCs and

development of the theory of plate tectonics from Continental Drift to the present The theory of continental drift first came to be in 1915 when Alfred Wegener first proposed his belief that 300 billion years ago there was one single supercontinent‚ Pangaea. At the time‚ most did not believe it was true as he had no proof or idea of how the masses of land would move. However‚ new evidence was put forward over time that fit with Wegener’s beliefs. The first key piece of evidence is the shape of each

Therefore Sources C and E support Source D‚ while Source E supports it to a lesser extent due to the fact that it is a private message and will

Would the world be the same if there weren’t plate tectonics? The answer is no‚ because that is how the oceans‚ land‚ and many more things were created. There would be no rocks or plate boundaries. Every living thing on earth would have to adapt to these types of things‚ if there even was living things on earth. The different types of rocks like igneous‚ sedimentary‚ and metamorphic have to go through a process to become that type of rock. Igneous is formed when magma is cooled and
