PLATE TECTONICS THEORY




        Plate Tectonics theory is another way to explain Earth's crusts move because of different kinds of plate tectonic boundaries and convection currents instead of Continental Drift theory.
        Volcano proves Plate tectonics theory because it form along the subduction zone, where an oceanic plate goes beneath the continental plate in the convergent boundary. Convergent boundary has also form mountain, when two continental plates crush in to each other. mid-ocean ridge proves this theory because it form within divergent boundary, where two oceanic crusts move apart. It also form Rift valley, when two continental crusts move apart. Earthquake and Tsunami occurs during transform plate boundary, when two crusts slide against each other.
        The theory of continental drift was thought by Alfred Wegener had be proved in 1950 had evidenced the Earth's crusts had once be all together in 300 million years ago then separate the continental and oceanic crust slowly through geological  time. Some proves of continental drift is Goal distribution, coal can be found in Antarctic ice cap; plant and animal fossils of the same age have been found on rocks; different types of rock found on each continental today had similar age; all lands can be fits together. These all proves the earth's crusts movement.
        Convection current is a process of magma constantly flowing within the mantle, because of heat from outer core of the Earth pushes magma up to the colder part of earth's layer then sinks down again.it proves plate tectonics theory because magma within the mantle melted the crust during convergent boundary and it separate two crusts during divergent boundary, magma inside the mantle works it's way to Earth's surface and creates hot spot, and volcano.
        I agree with the theory of plate tectonics because all sorts of phenomena proved the movement of earth's crust, like earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanoes, and so on...

REFLECTION

What did you enjoy about this project and why?
     I  most enjoy about this project is to represent my effort to groupmate and quiz them, it's fun to show them my work, and are relaxing when they are taking my quiz.

What was most challenging for you during this project and why?
     The most challenging for me during this project is to complete it on time and get a good grade on this project.

What new skill did you learn form doing this project?
     I learned earth's interior and it's movements, what proves the theory of plate tectonics. 

Is there anything that you could have done to improve any of your work? Explain.
     I need to improve my quiz grade of prediction map because I don't have well prepare when  teacher quiz me.

What would you change about this project?
     I want to change the option of each layer, maybe more choice or can repeat of doing same option or title twice.
