Plate Tectonics and Earthâ s Structure

(6) 1. Plate tectonics explains important features of the Earthâs surface and major geologic events. As the basis for understanding this concept, students know:

a) The fit of the continents, location of earthquakes, volcanoes, and mid ocean ridges, and the distribution of fossils, rock types, and ancient climatic zones provide evidence for plate tectonics.
b) The solid Earth is layered with cold, brittle lithosphere; hot, convecting mantle; and dense, metallic core.
c) Lithospheric plates that are the size of continents and oceans move at rates of centimeters per year in response to movements in the mantle.
d) Major geologic events, such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and mountain building result from plate motions.
