  1. RESOURCEs & EnvironmentCh. 3. internal energy of the earth Volcanic clouds in Iceland (April 14, 2010) http://inthepark.egloos.com/4727911

  2. 3-1. plate tectonics • 3-1-1. Plate Tectonics? • Unified theory of explaining (all) the geological processes (or phenomena) with the dynamics (motion) of the plates (on the surface of the Earth) • (tectonics from tectonicus, meaning “pertaining to building”)

  3. 3-1-2. Histories • Theory of continental drift: • 16C Abraham Ortellius • 17C Francis Bacon • 19C Antonio Snider-Pellegrini • 1912 Alfred Wegener (1880-1930) – scientifically established the theory • Theory of sea-floor spreading • Early 1960s, Robert S. Dietz , Harry H. Hess • Mantle convection • 1928 Arthur Holmes

  4. Evidences of continental drift –shape of the continents

  5. Evidences of continental drift –fossils

  6. Evidences of continental drift – rocks http://www.indiana.edu/~g103/G103/week11/week11.htm

  7. Evidences of sea floor spreading – geomagnetic reversal http://www.indiana.edu/~geol116/week7/week7.htm

  8. 3-1-3. Plates & Plate Boundaries • Boundaries • Convergent: • Divergent • Transform (or Conservative)
