Plate tectonics

 

By Samia Ijaz

The theory that explains Earth is made of plate, plates boundary, and zones which is called Plate Tectonic. Convection current/cell is happen in mantle which is the evidence of plate tectonic which tells us the plates are moving. The convection current brings heat from earth interior that cause the plates movement. Plate tectonic is the modern example of Continental drift. A continental drift is a theory when all land pull apart and Alfred Wegener thought of this theory. Pangaea when all the land together. Continental drift and Pangaea are the examples of Plate tectonic.

Evidence #1 that will show how plates move. Plate boundary is the great example of Plate tectonic. Divergent, Convergent and transform boundaries shows how Earth/ plates move. Divergent boundary is when two plates get separate and create Rift valley and Mid-ocean ridge. Convergent boundary is when two plates come together and create Mountains. Subduction zone is when one plate goes another plate and create Trench and Volcanoes. Transform boundary is when two plates slides each other or have opposite direction and create Earthquake and Tsunami. This is how earth plates move.

Evidence#2 When two continental plates converged, they create mountain . The real life example is Himalayas mountain on the Indian plate. When one plate goes under another plate which create Trench and Volcano. The real life example of Trench is Mariana Trench which is near to Phillipine and North American volcano on Hawaii plate. If the plates are pulling apart at boundaries like the Mid-Ocean Ridge, the sea floor spreading which we can see/know the plates are moving by divergent boundary.
Evidence #3 that will show how earth' s continents are moving. Continental drift is the movement of earth's continents. According to the theory of continental drift, the world was made up of one continent and slowly split apart from each other. The continents/oceans are the main part of earth. 200 million years before the continents formed as a single continents but later the continents moving away from each other and then became different/many continents as we see/know today. Plate tectonics can explain how earth's continents moves.
In conclusion, based on this evidences we can see/ know how the plates are moving which is plate tectonics. The continents can fit together if we do puzzle. Volcanoes and earthquake occur at plate boundaries. As the Trench occur under the oceanic plate, the plate which moves over the oceanic plate and create volcanoes on land. As the plate continues to move, there would be a lot of volcanoes and island. If the plate didn't move, there would be no volcanoes and no others things will happen. However, these features helps us to know that Plate tectonic is exist.

Reflection

Q1:What did you enjoy about this project and why ?
Ans : I enjoyed this project is Presentation part because it was good experience for me to explain what I have learned.
Q2: What was the most challenging for you during the project and why ?
Ans: The most challenging part for me was to made photographic evidence and mini posters because it was difficult to make these in less time ,it takes a lot of time but I did less time and I used my time very efficiently and I finished everything that was required in this project before the due date.
 Q3: What new skills did you learn from doing this project?
Ans: I learned  from my project was use your  time efficiently.
 Q4: Is there anything that you could have done to improve any of your work? Explain
Ans: I will put more effort to improve my work because I think I am not that satisfy with my work that I should and I think I can do better than what I have done.
Q5: What would you change about this project ?
Ans: I would prefer that instead of presenting to our groups, everyone in class should present to the class.

Analysis

In this world, there are four boundaries and each boundary create something. Divergent boundary is when two plates get separated. It creates Rift Valley and Mid-ocean ridge. It's when two oceanic plates get separated is called Rift Valley and when two continental plates get separated is called Mid-ocean ridge. Convergent boundary is when two plates come together and create mountains. When two continental plates come together and make mountains. Transform boundary is when two plates slides each other and create Earth Quake and Tsunami. Earthquake is when two continental plates slides each other but Tsunami happen under the ocean .For example Earth Quake in Haiti on 2012. Tsunami  in Japan on 2011.  Subduction Zone is when a plate goes under another plate and create Trench and Volcanic arc. When a oceanic plate goes under the continental plate create a trench. When continental and oceanic plates come together, it's create volcanic arc. Fault zone is a break in earth surface. Hotspot where magma reaches it's surface. Ring of Fire is when volcano dies. In conclusion, each  boundary  creates something that has effected or might be will effect on this world .

Revolution

Vocabulary words

Revolution:

"When Earth revolve around the Sun." انقلاب

Revolution Length:

"How does Earth take to revolve around the Sun?" انقلاب کی لمبائی

Orbit:

"The curved path where earth revolve around the Sun." مدار

 Ellipse:

"The shape of an Earth' s orbit is an Ellipse". بیضوی

Constellation:

Summary

Earth revolution is the movement of the earth around the sun. Earth revolution takes a year or 365 days .The shape of an Earth 's orbit is an Ellipse .Aphelion is the point when earth is farthest to the Sun. Perihelion is the point when earth  is closest to the Sun. Also Earth has four seasons. In spring ,new flowers grow. In summer, the weather is really hot because its equator is always hot get direct sunlight .In fall or autumn, the eaves fall from the ground. In winter, the weather is really cold and world freezes because its equator is always cold and also get indirect sunlight. Equator is a line that cuts earth in half ,This  is how Earth revolve around the sun. Its called earth revolution .

Earth revolution by Samia Ijaz

  

 
How is earth affected by movement?
The earth revolve around the sun, moon revolve around the earth. As earth revolve around the Sun get light from the sun. This light reflect differently which causes of phases of moon.
And also seasons, when earth get direct sunlight it means it  will be summer and if its get indirect sunlight it mean it will be winter.
