EARTH INTERNAL LAYERS: Compositional : Crust (oceanic, continental) Mantle, Core. Phisical: Lithospere (rigid), Low velocity zone (ductile and partially molten), Lower molten (solid), Core (outer molten, inner solid).
EV OF THE THEORY OF CONT DRIFT: Paleolithic evidence: Fossils. Biological ev: Living beings. Geological ev: Continents fit. Paleoclimatic ev: Glacier rests. BENIOFF ZONE: Area of seismic activity in a subducting plate. WILSON CYCLE: Rift Valley Stage: Magma rises up through fractures making the lithosphere thinner and lower. Red Sea St: Deep lakes are formed at the bottom of the valley, which spreads. Atlantic Ocean st: New oceanic lithosphere is being produced and the Atl Oc is expanding. Pacific Ocean st: The Oc lithosphere becomes older and denser. The pac oc is getting smaller. Indian Continent St: The ocean closes as the continents converge. A mountain range is formed. HOW PLATES MOVE: Convection currents inside the mantle push them. Hot currents not only rise up throug the ridge but through the hot spots. Gravity pulls down on both sides of the lithosphere. The sinking plate pulls down.
