The lines with gray shading indicate divergent plate boundaries, the "triangle" symbol represents convergent plate boundaries and the single line with or without the "T" indicate transform plate boundaries. Plate A is stationary. Your job is to determine which way Plates B, C and D are moving. Remember that the entire plate must move in the same direction. Some of the examples may be impossible. Select the plate motion from the list of possible motions. Then select "Grade" to see if the motion is correct.

Extractions: Skip Navigation The theory of plate tectonics has done for geology what Charles Darwin's theory of evolution did for biology. It provides geology with a comprehensive theory that explains "how the Earth works." The theory was formulated in the 1960s and 1970s as new information was obtained about the nature of the ocean floor, Earth's ancient magnetism, the distribution of volcanoes and earthquakes, the flow of heat from Earth's interior, and the worldwide distribution of plant and animal fossils. The theory states that Earth's outermost layer, the lithosphere, is broken into 7 large, rigid pieces called plates: the African, North American, South American, Eurasian, Australian, Antarctic, and Pacific plates. Several minor plates also exist, including the Arabian, Nazca, and Philippines plates. The plates are all moving in different directions and at different speeds (from 2 cm to 10 cm per yearabout the speed at which your fingernails grow) in relationship to each other. The plates are moving around like cars in a demolition derby, which means they sometimes crash together, pull apart, or sideswipe each other. The place where the two plates meet is called a plate boundary. Boundaries have different names depending on how the two plates are moving in relationship to each other

Extend into the Pacific Ocean from the west coast of South America. Earthquakes occur where two areas of the earth's crust try to move in different directions. If friction prevents movement between these two areas then there will be a lot of pressure. When friction is released by a sudden movement, the result is an earthquake. Earthquakes are measured on the Richter scale. Each level is ten times greater than the level below it.

This wiki books means to be collaborated approach to acquire maximum knowledge available about the subject. This book is a collaborative approach of Indonesia geologists. Intended to compile the current technical knowledge on the geology of Indonesia. The subject is ranging from tectonics, structural geology, and stratigraphy. Because Indonesia is a vast region, the general geology for each region is described separately under the Regional Geology chapter. The book also covers the geological application for the petroleum, natural resources and geological hazards. The geological hazard will also cover the recent development of earthquake, tsunami, and other hazards in Indonesia. Indonesia is located on the Pacific Ring of Fire with extensive volcanic network which give rise to the recent earthquake.

Extractions: From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search The tectonic plates of the world were mapped in the second half of the 20th century. Plate tectonics (from the Late Latin tectonicus , from the Greek "pertaining to building") ( is a scientific theory which describes the large scale motions of Earth 's lithosphere . The theory builds on the older concepts of continental drift , developed during the first decades of the 20th century (one of the most famous advocates was Alfred Wegener ), and was accepted by the majority of the Geoscientific community when the concepts of seafloor spreading were developed in the late 1950s and early 1960s. The lithosphere is broken up into what are called "tectonic plates" . In the case of the Earth, there are currently seven to eight major (depending on how they are defined) and many minor plates. The lithospheric plates ride on the asthenosphere . These plates move in relation to one another at one of three types of plate boundaries: convergent , or collisional boundaries; divergent boundaries, also called spreading centers; and conservative

These early theories of continental drift were based on the following evidence: Locations of fossil occurrences suggested that some of the continental masses may have been connected in the geological past. Paleoclimatic evidence indicates that now tropical regions on some continents had polar climates in past Ice ages. This may indicate that these regions were located at different latitudes. Some continents seem to fit together like a jigsaw puzzle. Some geologic deposits of rocks on the East coast of North and South America are similar to deposits found on the West coast of Africa and Europe.

An asperity is an area on a fault that is stuck. The earthquake rupture usually begins at an asperity. When you throw a pebble in a pond, it makes waves on the surface that move out from the place where the pebble entered the water. The waves are largest where they are formed and gradually get smaller as they move away. This decrease in size, or amplitude, of the waves is called attenuation. Seismic waves also become attenuated as they move away from the earthquake source. A thrust fault that does not rupture all the way up to the surface so there is no evidence of it on the ground. It is "buried" under the uppermost layers of rock in the crust.
