German
meteorologist and geophysicist, famous for proposing the

View source
Plate tectonics theory
Explains that Earth's
outer shell
is broken up into
several slabs
or rock plates
View source
The four main layers of Earth
Core
Lower
mantle
Upper
mantle
Crust
View source
Core
Made up of
heavy metals
View source
Crust
Lightest sedimentary
View source
Two types of crust
Continental
crust
Oceanic
crust
View source
Lithosphere
Upper solid part of the
mantle
View source
Asthenosphere
Broken into several
plates
that "float" on a
soft
layer of partially molten rock
View source
Plate boundaries
The areas where these plates
meet
View source
Three types of plate boundaries
Divergent
Convergent
Transform
fault/
conservative
boundary
View source
Divergent
boundary
Plates move apart and create
space
between them for the rising
magma
View source
Seafloor spreading
Responsible for the
formation
of
oceanic rift valleys
View source
Rift valley
Low-lying
regions of land formed by the separation of
tectonic plates
View source
Convergent
boundary
A region where two plates
collide
View source
Subduction
When two plates
collide
, the edge of one plates bends downward and
sink
beneath the opposite plate
View source
Subduction zone
The area where
subduction
occurs
View source
Oceanic
- continental
convergence
The edge of the
oceanic
lithosphere bends and sinks to the asthenosphere where viscous
magma
flows
View source
Oceanic
trench

subduction
forms a long, narrow
depression
on the ocean floor
