Bhadra Thakuri

The formation and deformation of earth's crust. The lithosphere is not a homogeneous unit. It is divided in to multiple plates. The internal heat process, the convection process affects the plate tectonics.

PLATE TECTONICS
AIM
SCOPE & SEQUENCE Internal Heat Source & Plate Tectonics Continental Drift & Sea Floor Spreading Plate Boundaries & Subduction Zones
INTERNAL HEAT SOURCE Dynamic Planet Earth itself is a Giant Heat Engine Primordial Heat Accumulated During Earth Formation Radioactive Heat- Isotopes Disintegration- Uranium, Thorium & Potassium Equilibrium of Constructive & Destructive Heat Convection and Conduction Process
PLATE TECTONICS Convection causes slow mvt of Asthenosphere to Diff Directions and Lithosphere Break to Multiple Plates Greek- Tektonikos means Building & Construction. It is the study of the Formation & Deformation of Earths Crust which results in large scale features 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
CONTINETAL DRIFT 200 Millions years ago. Pangaea started break up 100 50 Millions years ago 50 Millions years ago to present Laurasia Gondwana
