BC2
8th Grade Science
Chapter 10 -- Plate Tectonics
You will learn:
-
The hypothesis of continental drift
-
Four pieces of evidence supporting continental drift
This is important because the hypothesis of continental drift led to
plate tectonics, a theory that explains many dynamic processes in Earth.
You will learn:
-
A description of seafloor spreading.
-
How age and magnetic clues support seafloor spreading.
This is important because seafloor spreading helps explain how continents
drift apart.
You will learn:
-
How to compare and contrast different types of plate boundaries.
-
How convection currents might be the cause of plate tectonics.
-
The effects of plate tectonics found at each type of boundary.
This is important because plate tectonics explains how many of Earth's
features form.
