Week 5 Earth Science

The document discusses how plate tectonics leads to the formation of folds and faults. It provides three examples: 1) Mountain ranges are the result of colliding plates, which buckles the edges and creates mountains. 2) Plate tectonics modulates the atmosphere, keeps water on Earth, regulates temperature, and maintains stability of the planet's thermostat. 3) Tectonic activity plays an essential role in sustaining life on Earth by nourishing it and keeping conditions favorable.

What I Can Do

A. Everything’s Happen for a Reason


Everything’s happen for a reason just like in science there is always an explanation
and theory why things happen. Based on our module it explains how the movements of plates
lead to the formation of folds and faults
B. In your area, what natural scenery do you think is a result of colliding plates?
The natural scenery that results in colliding plates is mountain ranges because the
collision buckles the edge of one or both plates, creating a mountain range or subducting
one of the plates under the other, creating a deep seafloor trench
C. How will you justify that plate tectonics or movement of plate boundaries is also beneficial
to us?
Recent discoveries suggest that plate tectonics has played a critical role in
nourishing life on Earth. Plate tectonics is what modulates our atmosphere at the longest
timescales. Plate tectonics is needed to be able to keep water here, to keep it warm, to
keep life chugging along. Tectonic activity also plays an essential role in maintaining the
long-term stability of Earth’s thermostat.

Question Responses Your Feedback


How do you think the mountain, Well I think its part of God’s Based on geology, there are
valley, ridges and volcanoes are creation. God created humans, three ways in which
formed all the living things on earth as mountains are formed, which
well as mountains, valleys, correspond to the types of
ridges and volcanoes mountains in question. These
are known as volcanic, fold
and block mountains. All of
these are the result of plate
tectonics, where
compressional forces,
isostatic uplift and intrusion of
igneous matter forces surface
rock upward, creating a
landform higher than the
surrounding features.
