LAB EXAM 1
1. Be able to list various lines of evidence that supports plate tectonics
a. Similar continental shapes, reflecting oceans and continents.
2. Characterize the different plate boundaries (physical features associated with)
a. Divergent, Convergent, and Transform boundaries. What they are associated with
3. Map-View
a. Japan: island arc.
b. Cross-Section
4. Color Coded earthquake locations
a. What do they mean?
b. iClicker answer: WEST!
5. 3 types of plate margins and associated structures
a. Divergent - move apart
i. (EQV) at MOR and continental rift valleys.
b. Convergent - move towards
i. (EQV) at ocean trenches and volcanoes.
c. Transform - move past one another
i. (EQ)
6. Silly Puddy
a. How does temperature and rate control how rocks in the Earth behave
i. At deeper levels, temperature > pressure. Vise versa
LECTURE 1 EXAM
1. Distribution of EQ, V, and HE
a. EQ’s and V’s along active plate boundaries
2. Mechanical vs Compositional
a. Litho - (Mech) Strong (Comp) Rigid
b. Astheno - (Mech) weak (Comp) molten
3. Crust/Litho/Astheno
4. Convection
