Warm Ups
Warm Up 1- Wegener
Wegener came up with the theory of Continental Drift.
Wegener found the same fossils on different continents proving that they were once all joined together.

Warm Up 2- Wegener
Using this map, Wegener devised the theory of continental drift by the fossils of different plants and animals found on different continents. This proves the continents were all joined together at one time.

Warm Up 3- Seafloor Spreading
Seafloor spreading is the idea that the seafloor is spreading. This is because of convection in the magma in the mantle. This causes the continents to spread apart and break which gives lava room to come out creating new rock and the floor spreads.

Warm Up 4- Plate Tectonics
-John Tuzo Wilson proposed the theory of plate tectonics.
-The proven theory that the earth's lithosphere is broken up into 12 plates, they are floating on the upper mantle and are moving due to convection is Plate Tectonics.

Warm Up 5- Boundary
A continental/oceanic convergent boundary causes volcanic mountains. Divergent boundaries can also form volcanic mountains.
Subduction is the process that takes place when old crust gets destroyed and turns into magma in the mantle. Forms trenches.

Warm Up 7- Plate Boundaries
a- Divergent boundary. Landforms include ridges and rift valleys.
b- Convergent boundary- subduction. Landforms include volcanic mountains and trenches.
c- Continental/ Oceanic Convergent boundary- point of subduction of the oceanic plate underneath the continental one. Landforms: volcanic mountains, trenches.
d- Oceanic/Oceanic one plate is subducting. This can cause island arcs and trenches.

Warm Up 8- Topographic Map
-The landform is most likely a valley.
-The range for the highest peak is 200-210 feet.
