Geoscience Quest: Earth’s Dynamic SurfaceOnline version

Explore plate tectonics, rock cycles, and geoscience processes.

1

Slide 1: Unit Overview

Topics: Earth materials, the rock cycle, plate tectonics, seafloor spreading, and geoscience processes shaping Earth's surface. Use notes and activities to answer prompts.

2

Slide 2: What is a Geoscience Process?

Geoscience Process: any natural phenomenon that shapes and alters Earth's surface, from mountains to rivers and earthquakes.

3

Slide 3: Delta Formation

Delta forms when a river slows and deposits sediment as it enters a body of water, building land over time.

4

Slide 4: Slow vs. Fast Geoscience Processes

QR

Slow processes include weathering and erosion; fast processes include landslides and floods. Circle/underline accordingly in activities.

5

Slide 5: Rapid Events from Slow Processes

QR

Although slow, processes like weathering can lead to rapid events, such as landslides triggered by heavy rain or an earthquake following rock weakening.

6

3 Types of plate Boundaries

QR
7

Slide 6: Plate Boundary Convergent Motion

At a convergent boundary, plates move toward each other. Draw arrows showing collision and vertical uplift.

8

Slide 7: Plate Boundary Divergent Motion

At a DIVERGENT boundary, plates move apart. Draw arrows depicting spreading and new crust formation.

9

Slide 8: Plate Boundary Transform Motion

At a transform boundary, plates slide past one another. Draw arrows showing lateral, side-to-side movement.

10

Slide 9: Fossils & Continental Drift

Distribution of fossils across continents supports continental drift; similar species appear on now-distant landmasses.

11

Slide 10: Ocean Ridges & Trenches Evidence

Mid-ocean ridges and trenches reveal past plate movement, seafloor spreading, and subduction processes shaping Earth.


Ocean ridges are where new crust is formed as magma wells up from the ocean floor. As the the seafloor spreads, old crust is pushed back down into the matle at subduction zones and is recycled.
