This theory is accredited from lots of scientist and geologist. ]]> 2017-11-01 09:38:18 UTC https://padlet.com/michelecirillo_j/Plate_Tectonics/wish/202419590 michelecirillo_j https://padlet.com/michelecirillo_j/Plate_Tectonics/wish/202423196 The crash between the plates generates tectonic earthquakes. They are the most common types of earthquakes and occur at the margin of the plate tectonics, where the energy cause which are released during the earthquake and where happen the side scrool or the crossing the plates.]]> 2017-11-01 10:00:42 UTC https://padlet.com/michelecirillo_j/Plate_Tectonics/wish/202423196 michelecirillo_j https://padlet.com/michelecirillo_j/Plate_Tectonics/wish/202440948 According to many scientist at the origin of the Earth was an only continent (PANGEA) surrounded by an only ocean (PANTHALASSA).
From the dismemberment of the Pangea originated from present continents and the Earth was divided at about fifteen plates. ]]> 2017-11-01 11:33:29 UTC https://padlet.com/michelecirillo_j/Plate_Tectonics/wish/202440948 michelecirillo_j https://padlet.com/michelecirillo_j/Plate_Tectonics/wish/202448633 In the movement of the plates we can consider 3 fundamental cased:
1) Plates sliding side by side (Transform Margins)
2) Plates distancing (Divergent Margins)
3) Plates approaching (Convergent Margins)]]> 2017-11-01 12:03:27 UTC https://padlet.com/michelecirillo_j/Plate_Tectonics/wish/202448633 michelecirillo_j https://padlet.com/michelecirillo_j/Plate_Tectonics/wish/202458776 2017-11-01 12:33:56 UTC https://padlet.com/michelecirillo_j/Plate_Tectonics/wish/202458776 michelecirillo_j https://padlet.com/michelecirillo_j/Plate_Tectonics/wish/202460014 2017-11-01 12:37:09 UTC https://padlet.com/michelecirillo_j/Plate_Tectonics/wish/202460014 https://padlet.com/michelecirillo_j/Plate_Tectonics/wish/203655861 2017-11-05 17:35:46 UTC https://padlet.com/michelecirillo_j/Plate_Tectonics/wish/203655861 michelecirillo_j https://padlet.com/michelecirillo_j/Plate_Tectonics/wish/222508599 Plate tectonics theory dealing with the dynamics of Earth’s outer shell, the lithosphere that revolutionized Earth sciences by providing a uniform context for understanding mountain-building processes, volcanoes, and earthquakes as well as the evolution of Earth’s surface and reconstructing its past continents and oceans.

Innovative technology in the 1950s allowed scientists to use sonar (sound waves) to capture an image of the bottom of the ocean.Before this technology, most people assumed that the bottom of the ocean was completely flat and smooth, much like the bottom of a swimming pool. Once scientists were able to see what it really was like, there were astonished! They saw mountains, valleys, ridges, trenches, and volcanoes, all underneath the water!]]> 2018-01-18 16:51:08 UTC https://padlet.com/michelecirillo_j/Plate_Tectonics/wish/222510611
