Forces That Affect Changes

on the Earth’s Surface

Earthquake and
Volcanic Eruptions
Do you have an idea on how
earth exist and formed?
Planet Earth was formed
4.6 billion years ago from
the same nebula cloud of
gas and dust that formed
the Sun and the other
planets.
 Do you know how mountains and
volcanoes are formed?

 We are going to
deepen our
knowledge about by
studying the different
crustal plates and
their movements ..

A tectonic plate (also
called lithospheric plate) is
a massive, irregularly
shaped slab of solid rock,
generally composed of both
continental and oceanic
lithosphere.
A fault is a break in the rocks that
make up the Earth's crust, along
which rocks on either side have
moved past each other.
A trench is a long narrow channel
that is cut into the ground .A
natural trench may also be a deep
hole on the bottom of the ocean
Continental plate: one of
the large pieces of the
surface of the earth that move
separately.
An oceanic plate is a
tectonic plate at the bottom of
the oceans.
asthenosphere is the upper
layer of the earth's mantle, below
the lithosphere, in which there is
relatively low resistance to plastic
flow and convection is thought to
occur.
Lithosphere is the
rigid outer part of
the earth,
consisting of the
crust and upper
mantle.
The continents of the earth
and ocean floor are made
up of very large pieces of
rocks called plates.

What are Continental Drift

Theory?
Continental drift was
a theory that
explained how
continents shift
position on Earth's
surface
Differentiate trench and a
fault.

What are the different

kinds of crustal plates?
 Group Work and
Presentation:
Name some causes of
the movements of the
earth’s crust.
 Essay Test:
Explain briefly the
Continental Drift
Theory ad explain
how it affects the
earth’s surface.
