Plate tectonics
Learning objective: You understand the theory of plate tectonics.

The movement of Earth's crust plates is called plate tectonics.

What do you come across in areas where plates move towards or away from each other?
  • volcanism
  • earthquakes
  • mountain ranges

Slide 8 - Diapositive

Earthquakes, volcanoes, tsunamis

Pangaea
Learning objective: You know that supercontinent Pangaeae fell apart long ago.

270 million years ago all the continents formed one supercontinent: Pangaea.
  • huge ocean
  • inland Pangaea dry
  • rock stream pushed Earth’s crust upwards
  • supercontinent broke apart

Slide 11 - Diapositive

Pangaea
What are the consequences of the

Finished early? Read 'The Alps as an example'.

Slide 13 - Diapositive

Formation of mountains: The Alps
Learning objective: You understand how plate tectonics formed the Alps.

Slide 14 - Diapositive

The Alps
50 million years ago Italy was attached to Africa. An ocean lay between Italy and Europe.
 The Alps did not yet exist.

Earth’s crust of Africa moves to the north wherby:
  • sea becomes narrower
  • seabed gets jammed
  • rock layers are pushed up
  • The Alps are formed

Slide 15 - Diapositive
