Shifting Continents: A Case Study in Scientific Revision
Even though you may not feel it, the earth is moving beneath
your feet. The tectonic plates have been moving for millennia
and have caused volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, tsunamis, and
continents to change shape. This must take an immense amount
of energy. Where does it come from? The heat from the earth’s
inner core drives the movement of the plates. This heat energy
is left over from the formation of the earth and some comes
from the decay of naturally occurring radioactive materials.
Today a lot is understood about the geologic processes.
However not too long ago it was a mystery how mountains were
formed and why earthquakes and volcanic eruptions happened.
Many hypotheses were put forward that eventually were proven
false. This is a normal part of the scientific process. Whenever
new discoveries force scientists to reconsider their hypotheses,
theories, and data, they do just that. Therefore, people think of
science as a collection of concepts that are always being
revised. The shift from the theory of continental drift proposed
by Alfred Wegner in 1912 to modern plate tectonic theory is an
example of this constant revision of scientific understanding as
experiments generate new information.
For additional information on plate tectonics and Alfred Wegner
check out this KU Science Center link:
https://kucampus.kaplan.edu/MyStudies/AcademicSupportCente
r/ScienceCenter/ScienceResources1/Earth%20Science/PlateTect
onics.aspx
Using what you learned about plate tectonics, Alfred Wegener,
and the basics of scientific investigation from the previous units
discuss the following:
Navigate to the following site:
U.S. Geological Survey Earthquake Map. (2016). Retrieved
from
http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/map/
Zoom out to see all the earthquakes that have happened
worldwide today. List the most recent earthquake and its
magnitude. How many earthquakes have happened in the last
day? Why do so many occur near plate boundaries (red lines on
map)?
Look at the following map of the world where triangles
represent active volcanoes:
NOVA: Teacher's Images. (2015). Retrieved from
http://www-
tc.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/education/activities/images/2515_vesuviu
s_map2.gif
Why do so many occur near plate boundaries (yellow lines on
map)?
Pick one active volcano or earthquake from around the globe or
a historical geological event and explain the following
What plates or hot spots it is associated with.
How the plates or hot spots are causing/caused the volcanic
event/earthquake.
How energy from deep within the earth is/was transferred to and
released during the volcanic event/earthquake.
If Alfred Wegener were alive today, and had access to the
technology and data that exists today, share a form of evidence
that he could have added to his hypothesis or would have
changed his hypothesis. Try to share a different form of
evidence from those shared by your classmates and/or add to
their posts by describing how the evidence is collected, how the
technology works to collect the data, or how this
technology/evidence has been used in other applications.

  • 2. formed and why earthquakes and volcanic eruptions happened. Many hypotheses were put forward that eventually were proven false. This is a normal part of the scientific process. Whenever new discoveries force scientists to reconsider their hypotheses, theories, and data, they do just that. Therefore, people think of science as a collection of concepts that are always being revised. The shift from the theory of continental drift proposed by Alfred Wegner in 1912 to modern plate tectonic theory is an example of this constant revision of scientific understanding as experiments generate new information. For additional information on plate tectonics and Alfred Wegner check out this KU Science Center link: https://kucampus.kaplan.edu/MyStudies/AcademicSupportCente r/ScienceCenter/ScienceResources1/Earth%20Science/PlateTect onics.aspx Using what you learned about plate tectonics, Alfred Wegener, and the basics of scientific investigation from the previous units discuss the following: Navigate to the following site: U.S. Geological Survey Earthquake Map.

  • 3. a historical geological event and explain the following What plates or hot spots it is associated with. How the plates or hot spots are causing/caused the volcanic event/earthquake. How energy from deep within the earth is/was transferred to and released during the volcanic event/earthquake. If Alfred Wegener were alive today, and had access to the technology and data that exists today, share a form of evidence that he could have added to his hypothesis or would have changed his hypothesis. Try to share a different form of evidence from those shared by your classmates and/or add to their posts by describing how the evidence is collected, how the technology works to collect the data, or how this technology/evidence has been used in other applications.
