DI: Why do plates move?

  1. Earth’s surface is broken up into 7 major tectonic plates.

    • plus some smaller (>5%)

    • These move about over time at about 2” per year.

  2. How can they move?

  3. The plates float on a gooey layer of the mantle that helps move them

    • The plates are are solid rock

    • Granite continents

    • basalt ocean floor

    • They float on the mantle because they are less dense.

  4. The upper mantle is hot and soft magma - it flows slowly

    • like tooth paste

    • It slowly circulates - pushing the plates along with it.

    • The circulation is called convection.

  5. Convection is the flow of a fluid as its density changes from heating and cooling.

    • Heating a fluid makes it less dense - so it rises.

    • Cooling a fluid makes it more dense - so it sinks.

    • Heating and cooling can cause a circulation current.
