Plate Tectonics: Earthquakes, Volcanoes, & Speciation

Explore how plate tectonics shape our world, from the formation of Pangaea to the creation of the Mariana Trench. Learn about fault lines, earthquakes, and the growth of mountain ranges like the Himalayas. Discover how the separation and collision of plates influence landscapes and biodiversity.

  3. How Do earthquakes happen?

  4. Strike-Slip Fault Building pressure over time.... Until...

  5. Subduction One tectonic plate tunneling underneath another Leads to volcanoes

  6. Ring of Fire

  7. Mariana Trench -Deepest part of Ocean -Created by subduction of 2 plate boundaries

  8. How Did the Himalayas Form?

  9. Collision of 2 Plates • Himalayas, Alps, Appalachians • Himalayas still growing at a few inches/ year

  10. Separation of 2 Plates Where??? Middle of Atlantic Ocean Red Sea

  11. If we could fast forward 80 million years, where would Ethiopia be? Would it still be mostly desert? Would it be warmer?

  12. What does Pangaea tell us about speciation?

  13. Hawaii

  14. Iceland
