Demonstrate a knowledge and understanding of continental drift and the different lines of evidence that Alfred Wegener used to support his theory.
Identify the different types of plate boundaries and the characteristic features that form at them because of tectonic plate movement.
Differentiate between oceanic and continental crust and identify the plate boundary settings where oceanic crust is created or recycled.
Describe the relationship between age and the topography of the ocean floor relative to plate boundaries.
Calculate the rate of tectonic plate movement through the interpretation of paleomagnetic data at mid-ocean ridges (seafloor spreading rate), hot spot tracking, and continuity of structures.
