For western California, each slipping card face would be a fault surface. Channel Islands National Park includes five islands that are the tops of a mostly-submerged portion of the Transverse Ranges. (2 pts.) The long mountain ridges and narrow bays in the region surrounding U. S. Virgin Islands National Park are a product of compression due to the convergence, in addition to lateral motion due to shearing along the transform plate boundary. 1 0 obj The Peru-Chile Trench marks the boundary between the (1) Pacific Plate and the Antarctic Plate (2) Nazca Plate and the South American Plate (3) North American Plate and the Cocos Plate (4) Caribbean Plate and the Scotia Plate. May also be shown in black, but the distinction between "active" and "ancient" transform faults will be lost. When the plates finally give and slip due to the increased pressure, energy is released as seismic waves, causing the ground to shake. The arrow shows the direction of convergence. Closely spaced earthquakes with a range of depths that deepen i對n the direction of plate movement can reflect a subducting plate at a convergent boundary. Found inside – Page 672During the Middle Miocene (14.0 to 10.4 Ma), the Pacific plate rotated counterclockwise (Inset c in Fig. ... Circum-Pacific Map Project, Plate Tectonic Map of the Circum- Pacific Region, Northwest Quadrant. Amer. Assoc. Petrol. Draw a picture of the plates with direction arrows similar to the animated diagram to show what is happening at a divergent boundary. The plate boundary located off the western coast of South America is most likely an area of. The arrow represent the movement of each plate. x��XMo�H�G��}���n�"K��լ)�r��@�$�@��Q��VU�61�Ѭfb�W��zmƷu[�˖�܌o�v�|-W�i�8�2�6___q�? Make a note to point out the arrows on the map and the legend; explain how these arrows do not correspond to the exact points of plate boundaries, but rather overall movement at that point. They were lifted out of the ocean as part of the accretionary wedge of an ancient subduction zone. Beginning about 30 million years ago, so much of the Farallon Plate was consumed by subduction that the Pacific and North American plates were in contact, forming the San Andreas transform plate boundary in western California. It simply tells us that the plates are moving in a certain direction as influenced by the convection current of the mantle. Orientation to the vectors on the map Each arrow represents a data point from a GPS station and is called a velocity vector (or vector). The plate motion has plucked the rocks from their original position and moved them more than 300 miles north-northwestward to their current position at Point Reyes. The theory of plate tectonics is nowadays more or less universally accepted by geologists, and I have mentioned the basic idea briefly at the beginning of this class. NP = National Park Click for larger map. Divergent margin Convergent margin. answer choices. endobj Place a check in the appropriate box identifying the type of plate boundary. Here the Three Types of Plate Boundaries. It includes many lesser faults in addition to the San Andreas Fault. 19.The map below shows the northern section of the boundary between the Arabian Plate and the African Plate. Landscape map that shows the US part of the Juan de Fuca plate. By the end of 1967, Earth's surface had been mapped into a series of plates (Figure 10.16). . [Note that the arrows on the Tectonic Plate map represent relative motion of the plates with respect to one another. The earthquake ruptured a large portion of the San Andreas Fault, including land that is now Point Reyes National Seashore and Golden Gate National Recreation Area. For example, rocks found today in Point Reyes National Seashore north of San Francisco were originally part of the line of granite rocks formed beneath ancient subduction zone volcanoes. Strike and dip are a way of representing the three-dimensional orientation of a planar surface on a two-dimensional map. Plate tectonics is a scientific theory. Bold numbers are the years of moderately large (larger than about magnitude 7) historical earthquakes written next to their approximate locations. (8 pts.) 'pertaining to building') is a scientific theory describing the large-scale motion of the plates making up Earth's lithosphere since tectonic processes began on Earth between 3.3 and 3.5 billion years ago. 4: Plate boundaries in the Pacific Ocean (USGS) e, The PBS activity has arrows that you click on and drag for a dynamic illustration of what happens at the different plate boundaries. they separated from eachother 2. These boundaries are usually well enough defined that they can be plotted on a map at a reasonably accurate location. The pinnacles are the eroded remnants of hardened volcanic breccia—slurries of mud and rock from explosive eruptions. 26. An example of a divergent boundary is the Mid-Atlantic Ridge between the African and South American Plate. Perform the following instructions in the hypothetical plate map above. The broad zone of shearing at a transform plate boundary includes masses of rock displaced tens to hundreds of miles, shallow earthquakes, and a landscape consisting of long ridges separated by narrow valleys. Map prepared by the United States Geological Survey. Absolute plate velocities are shown by the cyan arrows in the global tectonic plate map at the right and relative plate velocities are shown by the yellow arrows. This is a map of southern Alaska. Q. In a Divergent Boundary plates are moving _____ from each other. Distinct maps, interesting sidebars, and annotated illustrations of the Earth s layers are included in this volume, which details the motion of the planet and the nature and study of both earthquakes and volcanoes. At this time, there are no GPS stations in the ocean, so no vectors are displayed in the ocean for observed data. Found insideWhitehouse, I. E.

(1987), Tectonic map of Central Otago based on Landsat imagery, N. Z. J. Geol. Other rocks in the San Francisco Bay Area were originally part of an accretionary wedge, similar to rocks found today in the coastal ranges of the Cascadia Subduction Zone in northern California, Oregon, and Washington. Photo courtesy of Robert J. Lillie. Map showing the geographic location of major ocean trenches in the Pacific Ocean. Point Reyes National Seashore, Golden Gate National Recreation Area, and Pinnacles National Park present landscapes affected by the main line of movement, the San Andreas Fault. Some plate boundaries are poorly defined by topographic expression or lithospheric discontinuities. The compressed and uplifted region includes the Santa Monica Mountains north of Los Angeles as well as the Channel Islands south of Santa Barbara. "With a population of over 250 million people, Indonesia is the fourth most populous country in the world (United Nations, 2013). The arrow represent the movement of each plate. (hint: start by looking in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean) 3. By looking at maps for the distribution of earthquakes and volcanoes worldwide (Figures 1.4-1.5), you can interpret the boundaries between the major tectonic plates. Volcanic rocks at Pinnacles National Park were displaced about 190 miles (305 kilometers), while granitic rocks of Point Reyes National Seashore have moved about 310 miles (500 kilometers). Which diagram represents plate movement associated with transform faults such as those causing California earthquakes? In most cases this is also the real motion.] Note that the hotspot is not at a plate boundary. Van der Grinten projection. Plates move at a rate of a few centimeters a year, about the same rate fingernails grow. 3 0 obj A strike-slip fault is drawn as a line, usually (but not always) with a half-arrow on each side to show which direction the two sides of the fault are moving. The new Dynamic Earth wall map illustrates plate tectonics and features new bathymetry and naturally colored relief, as well as current volcano and earthquake data. What plate boundary future is shown? This volume includes both thematic and review papers covering various aspects of the Wilson Cycle concept. Thematic sections include: (1) the Classic Wilson v. 10.4 Plates, Plate Motions, and Plate-Boundary Processes. Finally, this book can be considered as a comprehensive monograph on plate tectonics, which addresses the different quantitative aspects of this broad discipline, which has been traditionally partitioned into separate or quasi-separate ... 2. Sketch: Draw a side view of the plate boundary before and after the plate motion. [Symbols for plate-tectonic features are usually reserved for maps at scales of 1:500,000 or smaller] 22.23 .

Lowman Jr., NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. Produced under a Cooperative Agreement for earth science education between the National Park Service's Geologic Resources Division and the American Geosciences Institute. Convergent boundary - Two plates are moving towards each other. Colors denote depth below sea level and elevation on land. As the mid-ocean ridge separating the Farallon and Pacific Plates entered the subduction zone, the Farallon Plate separated into the Juan de Fuca and Cocos Plates. answer choices. Arrows show direction of relative offset. The lithosphere is divided into a number of tectonic plates. Photo courtesy of Robert J. Lillie. Asthenosphere: a portion of the mantle where intense pressure and heat cause the material to flow like . Lastly, Relative plate velocities are based on a fixed Africa plate. Where subduction zones and ridge-ridge transform faults intersect the . The San Andreas Fault is the transform plate boundary where a thin sliver of western California, as part of the Pacific Plate, slides north-northwestward past the rest of North America. South American plate and Nazca Plate share the longest convergent boundary on earth, featuring Andes Mountains which extends over 7000km. 2.How many plates are present? National Park Service sites in the San Francisco Bay Area reveal a sheared-up, ancient subduction zone landscape developed along the San Andreas Fault. Nazca plate's melt subducts below the South American plate, causing crustal dilation which then uses the Paleozoic sedimentary rocks to compress and form fold and thrust belt. SEAFLOOR AGES Part 1: Divergent Boundary The diagram is of a divergent boundary with arrows showing the direction in which the plates are moving B с The scala ines are 10 km apart. The plate puzzle activity requires cutting a copy of the map into pieces along the plate boundaries so that students can put it together like a jigsaw puzzle. The Nazca Plate has been completed on the map as an example. From the scorching center of Earth's core to the outer limits of its atmosphere, from the gradual process of erosion that carved the Grand Canyon to the earth-shaking fury of volcanoes and earthquakes, this fascinating book—inspired by ... Cabrillo National Monument south of San Diego also lies within the broad zone of deformation between the two plates. Found insideThis book addresses the range of Andean tectonic processes and their temporal and spatial variations. The Nazca Plate has been completed on the map as an example. This atlas aims to provide the reader with key pointers for a spatial analysis of the social, economic and political dynamics at work in Jordan, an exemplary country of the Middle East complexities. [1] b Identify the type of tectonic plate boundary that exists at the Juan de Fuca Ridge. Active volcanoes of the Lesser Antilles Island Arc form as the North American Plate subducts beneath the Caribbean Plate. 4. (Click on arrows and slide left and right to see labels. a. 3. Modified from “Earth: Portrait of a Planet, by S. Marshak, 2001, W. W. Norton & Comp., New York. Photo courtesy of the National Parks Conservation Association.

Explain that each plate has a name , and point each one out as you read ... the correct symbols identifying each type of plate boundary. N Pres = National Preserve. On the east, the North American Plate is subducting westward, forming volcanoes of the Lesser Antilles Island Arc. • Plate tectonics describes the distribution and motion of the plates. An offset fence line reveals the 16 feet (5 meters) of lateral ground breakage that occured as the San Andreas Fault suddenly let loose during the 1906 San Francisco Earthquake. Q. Map by the United States Geological Survey. The arrows on either side of the fault represent… A. rock formations. Plate tectonic boundaries are often associated with earthquakes and volcanic activity. The islands contain sedimentary layers and pillow lavas that formed on the ocean floor. The landscapes of Channel Islands National Park, Pinnacles National Park, Point Reyes National Seashore and many other NPS sites in California are products of such a broad zone of deformation, where the Pacific Plate moves north-northwestward past the rest of North America. The broad zone of transform motion between the Pacific and North American plates formed numerous slivers of mountain ranges with narrow valleys in between. Found insideThis book is devoted to diverse aspects of earthquake researches, especially to new achievements in seismicity that involves geosciences, assessment, and mitigation. Sometimes the valleys are partially filled with water, as at Point Reyes National Seashore, where Tomales Bay and Olema Valley follow the main trace of the San Andreas Fault. Exhibits along the trail include the reconstruction of a fence that was offset 16 feet (5 meters) during the 1906 earthquake. The major plates are Eurasia, Pacific, India, Australia, North America, South America, Africa, and Antarctic. These plates move and interact with one another to produce earthquakes, volcanoes, mountain ranges, ocean trenches and other geologic processes and features.Map prepared by the United States Geological Survey. Layers of ocean sediment were squeezed and contorted as they were caught in the vise of the converging plates at the ancient subduction zone. <> Fig. ڒ|mvu�ʹ�>�X�"{��MS=o F[k�-�+�O�S}��@�����p'�Uzٶ��wO>����n�ߧ��D��HZ���o�ˀ4*�P:CӦ�L�lA�DÔ���i��~��:�cz,i��M��.�.o�=ت�f�g�0��g*��ձ��L#�. 4.Identify by name the two tectonic plates labeled on the map above that are located directly on each The theory of plate tectonics states that Earth's rocky, outer shell is broken into sections called plates. The transform plate boundary is a broad zone forming as the Pacific Plate slides northwestward past the North American Plate. Movement of the plates over Earth's surface is termed plate tectonics. [Note that the arrows on the Tectonic Plate map represent relative motion of the plates with respect to one another. Convergent boundary - Two plates are moving towards each other. As the plates move past each other, they sometimes get caught and pressure builds up. Found inside – Page 129Lineament and ship track map. All single lines represent, 3.5 or 12 kHz data. SeaMARC II coverage is shown by large envelopes (with no exaggeration) that designate the side-scan coverage, which is 10 km along single transit tracks. Point Reyes National Seashore and Golden Gate National Recreation Area are the only two NPS sites that are right on the San Andreas Fault. Which feature is located at 20º North latitude and 109º West longitude? CHIS—Channel Islands National Park, California [, CABR—Cabrillo National Monument, California—[, GOGA—Golden Gate National Recreation Area, California—[, PINN—Pinnacles National Monument, California—[, PORE—Point Reyes National Seashore, California—[, SAMO—Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area, California—[, BUIS—Buck Island Reef National Monument, U.S. Virgin Islands—[, VIIS—Virgin Islands National Park, U.S. Virgin Islands—[. The map at the top of this page shows the geographic location and extent of 15 major lithospheric plates. The map above shows names and generalized locations of Earth's major tectonic plates. Where tectonic plates slip horizontally past one another, lithosphere is neither created nor destroyed. The plates move very slowly but constantly, and this movement is called tectonics; thus the theory of moving lithospheric plates is called plate tectonics. Bold numbers are the years of moderately large (larger than about magnitude 7) historical earthquakes written next to their approximate locations. Click for larger map. In the early 1960s, the emergence of the theory of plate tectonics started a revolution in the earth sciences. National Park Service Sites (shown in red) Farther east, the continent began to rift apart in the Basin and Range Province. 2 Introduction • Earth's lithosphere is divided into mobile plates. C. transform boundaries. If each plate is moving at a rate of 10 lem . Divergent boundaries within continents initially produce rifts, which produce rift valleys. The basic thought is, that instead of being permanent fixtures of the earth's surface, the . They have been transported about 300 miles (500 kilometers) in a north-northwestward direction along the transform plate boundary. _____ rises up at the plate boundary where it cools at the surface and _____ forming new crust. The idea of plate tectonics became widely accepted around 1965 as more and more geologists started thinking in these terms. b. In general, plate boundaries are the scene of much geologic action - earthquakes, volcanoes, and dramatic topography such . The Cascadia trench marks the subduction zone with the North American plate. Figure 10.4.14. The accretionary wedge rocks are found in Channel Islands National Park, Golden Gate and Santa Monica Mountains national recreation areas and Cabrillo National Monument. Frisch and Meschede and Blakey answer all these questions and more through the presentation and explanation of the geodynamic processes upon which the theory of continental drift is based and which have led to the concept of plate tectonics ... Plate boundaries. Divergent Plate Boundaries. Movement of the plates over Earth's surface is termed plate tectonics. In an introductory class or typical textbook, we'd probably draw arrows right on the plate boundary (trench) showing the two plates converging, like I did in this map. Seafloor topography map source: “Global sea floor topography from satellite and ship depth soundings,” 1997, by W. H. F. Smith and D. T. Sandwell, Science, v. 277, p. 1956-1962. Question 2 assessed students' ability to integrate scientific method of recognizing the specific How Earth and other objects in the Solar System formed. May be shown in other colors. 3. Students should also identify a convergent, divergent, and transform boundary and show their movement with arrows. B. divergent boundaries. Start with the major plates, and then work on the smaller ones. Hypothetical plate map Continent A Continent B 2. By the end of 1967, Earth's surface had been mapped into a series of plates no post (Figure 4.4.1). But it’s interesting to note that this region is so heavily populated because of the same tectonic forces that sometimes shake it up with such violent consequences during earthquakes. Explores the life and achievements of the meteorologist whose theory of continental displacement revolutionized the observations about the Earth's development. In addition, they helped scientists recognize that there are other types of plate boundaries. Over time, the San Andreas transform plate boundary has grown longer as the Farallon Plate split into two separate plates—the Juan de Fuca Plate on the north, and the Cocos Plate on the south. California’s sheared-up landscape and earthquake hazards reflect the movement of the Pacific Plate past the edge of North America along a transform plate boundary that extends from the Mexican border to north of San Francisco. Doing some quick math, one can appreciate how dramatically plate-tectonic forces can affect the landscape, even in our lifetimes. Both plates are capped by oceanic crust. North American Plate Japan, marked with the arrow, is part of a complex se t of shorter subducting plate boundary segments. help confirm the location of the plate boundary. The arrows show the general directions in Without referring to the plate map in Figure 10.4.1, or any other resources, write in the names of as many of the plates as you can.
