I really love all your posts about continental and plate tectonics and the nature of the LAB and mountain building… this is easily the most interesting aspect of geology/geophysics to myself and i really enjoy your writing regarding these subjects. Mountain Building at Convergent Plate Boundaries. Consists of over 20 slabs called plates (7 major plates). Pamela: Alfred put forward the idea of continental drift that once upon a time, long, long, long ago, like order of 225-250 million years ago back in the Permian Period maybe all the continents formed one giant continent called Pangaea. More encompassing than continental drift. Scientists have successfully used it to explain many geological events, such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions as well as mountain building and the formation of the oceans and continents. If continents are drifting, then plate tectonics is responsible. Metageologist says: 9 August, 2012 at 8:24 pm. Occurs in lithosphere: strong, rigid layer in upper mantle. Greenstone Xenoliths in Archean Gneiss, near Sand River, Ontario, by Ron 9 August, 2012 at 8:18 pm. 84 currents and the caused by combinations of the drifting of continents and mountain-building in response to plate-. Plate Tectonics Webquest, Part D: Plate Tectonics: Types of Boundaries: Divergent boundaries. Processes linked to continental drift (plate tectonics) have affected atmospheric and oceanic.
