Document Summary
The land forms that are created and the things that you can see in the landscape things that are not created: we are going into detail about plate tectonics and mountain building.

Ancient rocks = layering of the rocks, associating with the earthquake. Why do earthquakes along the coast of south america: south american is moving and converging against the pacific ocean plate and there is convergence in these plates creating huge thrusts, produce faults that occur within rocks. Plate tectonics and results of plate tectonics: we are going to talk in more detail about this. Diastrophism: folding and faulting: what happens to rock stresses. Igneous intrusions and volcanism: readings 3-5 will help. Since the 1700s scientists have been fascinated by how some of the continental land masses can be fit together. Franklin had all previously recognized the puzzle-like pattern of continent shapes.
