tectonic interpretation tektonische Deutung f. Inherited tectonic structures controlling the deformation style – an example from the Helvetic Nappes of the Eastern Alps Article (PDF Available) in Swiss Journal of Geosciences ( Earth’s Tectonic Plates. Seafloor and continents move around on Earth’s surface, but what is actually moving? What portion of the Earth makes up the “plates” in plate tectonics? This question was also answered because of technology developed during war times – in this case, the Cold War. The plates are made up of the lithosphere. 2 Introduction • Earth's lithosphere is divided into mobile plates. • Plate tectonics describes the distribution and motion of the plates. • The theory of plate tectonics grew out of earlier hypotheses and observations collected during exploration of the rocks of the ocean floor. You will recall from a previous chapter that there are three.
interiors of tectonic plates. They have a thick crust and deep lithospheric roots that extend as much as several hundred km into the mantle. The term craton is used to distinguish the stable portion of the continental crust from regions that are more geologically active and unstable. Start studying Geography: Tectonics.

Multiple Choice Questions for Plate Tectonics - Chapter 19 Each chapter will include a few questions designed to test your knowledge of material covered in the chapter and in the Internet-based resources. The theory of plate tectonics is a unifying theory for geology. Plate tectonics is crucial to our understanding about how all earth processes happen from the rock cycle to the building of mountains to volcanoes, to earthquakes, and more.. A unifying theory is the main theory that explains how a whole group of natural phenomenon come about.

Some of the lesser known tectonic landforms on Earth are described below. Sand Volcano. A sand volcano is a tectonic feature that appears like a raised cone of sand on a sandy surface. Such landforms are formed due to the ejection of sand from a central point onto a surface. The summit of such a volcano usually hosts a crater. Plate Tectonic Boundaries. Passive margin At passive margins the plates don’t move—the continental lithosphere transitions into oceanic lithosphere and forms plates made of both types. A tectonic plate may be made of both oceanic and continental lithosphere connected by a passive margin. North and South America’s eastern coastlines.
