<div>I just wanted to clarify the recent score change thing. As of Monday 5/15/17, Acton Boxborough's coach, Brian Dempsey, notified the Massachusetts Science Olympiad Organizer, Robert Goldstein, that he had discovered that 3 students on his team had cheated in the event Hovercraft. Because of this, Acton Boxborough was disqualified in Hovercraft, which brings their score from 75 to 131, putting Newton South, originally the second place team, in 1st place for 2017. However, given that this was discovered only days before nationals, Newton South was unable to pull together the funds to attend and decided to let Acton Boxoborough attend in their place.</div>Soil3dudehttps://scioly.org/wiki/index.php?title=Newton_South_High_School&diff=51358Newton South High School2017-05-21T03:42:36Z<p>Soil3dude: </p>

==General Plate Tectonics==<br />
Tectonic plates are the pieces of the Earth's crust that "float" on the asthenosphere and make up the lithosphere. They are driven by convection currents in the mantle caused by the heat of the core due to pressure. There are two types of plates: oceanic and continental plates. Continental plates are thicker than oceanic plates, but oceanic plates are denser than continental plates. Oceanic plates are made of denser rocks due to cooling quickly and having fine-crystals. <br />
<br />
==History of Plate Tectonics Theory==<br />
In 1912, Alfred Wegener composed the theory of Plate Tectonics. The idea of a supercontinent was derived from inspecting fossil patterns and crust thickness. <br />
==Plate Boundaries==<br />
Plate boundaries are where the different pieces of the crust, known as tectonic plates, meet. <br />
<br />
===Convergent===<br />
When two plates collide with each other or come together, the boundary between the two plates is known as a convergent boundary. <br />
<br />
''Oceanic-Oceanic''<br />
<br />
When two oceanic plates converge, it causes subduction and creates a trench. The trench is the deepest part of the ocean because one plate is actually going underneath the other. Oceanic-oceanic convergent boundaries are also responsible for hotspots as magma from the mantle gets trapped between the two plates and is forced upwards. <br />
<br />
''Oceanic-Continental or Continental-Oceanic''<br />
<br />
When a continental and an oceanic plate converge, the oceanic plate always subducts underneath the continental. These boundaries create volcanoes and active margins and trenches, but the trenches are not as deep.<br />
<br />
''Continental-Continental''<br />
<br />
When two continental plates converge, the plate is pushed upwards creating mountains.<br />
===Divergent===<br />
''Oceanic''<br />
<br />
Oceanic divergent plate boundaries are marked by mid ocean ridges. At these boundaries, seafloor spreading occurs as plates separate and new oceanic lithosphere is formed along the spreading center. The Mid Atlantic Ridge is a well-known example of an oceanic divergent plate boundary.<br />
<br />
''Continental''<br />
<br />
Divergent boundaries over continents can cause rifting, in which the continental lithosphere stretches and thins before being broken apart, after which seafloor spreading begins. The East African Rift is an example of an active continental divergent boundary and is currently splitting the African Plate into two plates: the Somali Plate and the Nubian Plate.<br />
<br />
===Transform===<br />
When two plates slide past each other, the boundary is known as a transform boundary. No old plate is subducted and no new plate is formed at transform boundaries, which are marked by large faults and often earthquake activity. The San Andreas Fault is one of the most famous faults that occurs along a transform boundary.<br />
<br />
===Other boundaries===<br />
<br />
==Earth's Layers==<br />
<br />
'''Mechanical Divisions of the Earth's Layers:'''<br />
<br />
'''Lithosphere:''' the upper 100 km of the earth, comprised of the crust and the uppermost mantle.<br />
<br />
'''Asthenosphere:''' the layer beneath the lithosphere comprising part of the mantle. The Asthenosphere is known as the Low Velocity Zone, as seismic waves travel more slowly through it than they do through the Lithosphere. The boundary between the Lithosphere and the Asthenosphere is generally considered the 1300 C isotherm. Above this boundary, the mantle behaves rigidly and below it behaves in a more ductile manner.<br />
<br />
'''Mesospheric Mantle:''' the mantle beneath the Asthenosphere and above the outer core (about 660 km deep to 2700 km deep) that is distinguished by a sharp increase in seismic wave velocity and density.<br />
<br />
'''Outer Core:''' a liquid layer composed of iron, nickel, and other elements in trace quantities. Convection in the outer core is thought to be the cause of the Earth's magnetic field.<br />
<br />
'''Inner Core:''' The central layer composed primarily of iron with some nickel. The inner core is too hot to hold a permanent magnetic field and is slowly becoming thicker as more of the outer core solidifies slowly over time due to the gradual cooling of the Earth.<br />
<br />
'''Chemical Divisions of the Earth's Layers:'''<br />
The Earth's layers are also classified chemically as the Crust, Mantle, Outer Core, and Inner Core.<br />
<br />
'''Crust:''' the uppermost layer ranging from about 5 km - 70 km in depth. Continental crust is considerably thicker than oceanic crust and is primarily composed of granite and other felsic sodium potassium aluminium silicate rocks, while oceanic crust is thinner and composed mostly of basalt and other mafic iron magnesium silicate igneous rocks.<br />
<br />
'''Mantle:''' the layer below the crust that is composed of silicate rocks that are richer in iron and magnesium. The boundary between the Crust and the Mantle is the Moho (Mohorovicic discontinuity). Above the Moho are rocks containing plagioclase feldspar, below it are rocks containing no feldspars. <br />
<br />
'''Outer Core:''' see above<br />
<br />
'''Inner Core:''' see above<br />
<br />
<br />
== Forces Affecting Plate Movement ==<br />
Tectonic plate movement is primarily driven by convection currents in the Earth's lower mantle. <br />
<br />
'''Isostasy:'''<br />
Isostasy is the gravitational equilibrium between the lithosphere and the asthenosphere. The asthenosphere is weaker and more ductile than the lithosphere and flows laterally under the force of the lithosphere. The depth at which pieces of the lithosphere "float" in the asthenosphere is determined by their size and density. Denser and larger sections of crust will sink lower in the asthenosphere, which accounts for some differences in elevation of the Earth's crust. These different topographic heights can be accounted for by differing crustal thicknesses (Airy-Heiskanen model) and by differing densities (Pratt–Hayford model). Events that cause the crust to thicken, such as accumulation of sediment or collisions resulting in the development of mountains cause the crust to depress, while events that take weight off of the land, such as glacial retreat, cause the crust to "rebound".<br />
<br />
'''Basal Drag:'''<br />
Basal drag is plate movement due to friction between the asthenosphere's convection currents and the lithosphere. <br />
<br />
'''Slab Suction:'''<br />
Slab suction is plate movement due to local convection currents that pull plates down at subduction zones in ocean trenches. <br />

'''Asthenosphere:''' the layer beneath the lithosphere comprising part of the mantle. The Asthenosphere is known as the Low Velocity Zone, as seismic waves travel more slowly through it than they do through the Lithosphere. The boundary between the Lithosphere and the Asthenosphere is generally considered the 1300 C isotherm. Above this boundary, the mantle behaves rigidly and below it behaves in a more ductile manner.<br />
<br />
'''Mesospheric Mantle:''' the mantle beneath the Asthenosphere and above the outer core (about 660 km deep to 2700 km deep) that is distinguished by a sharp increase in seismic wave velocity and density.<br />
<br />
'''Outer Core:''' a liquid layer composed of iron, nickel, and other elements in trace quantities. Convection in the outer core is thought to be the cause of the Earth's magnetic field.<br />
<br />
'''Inner Core:''' The central layer composed primarily of iron with some nickel. The inner core is too hot to hold a permanent magnetic field and is slowly becoming thicker as more of the outer core solidifies slowly over time due to the gradual cooling of the Earth.<br />
<br />
'''Chemical Divisions of the Earth's Layers:'''<br />
The Earth's layers are also classified chemically as the Crust, Mantle, Outer Core, and Inner Core.<br />
<br />
'''Crust:''' the uppermost layer ranging from about 5 km - 70 km in depth. Continental crust is considerably thicker than oceanic crust and is primarily composed of granite and other felsic sodium potassium aluminium silicate rocks, while oceanic crust is thinner and composed mostly of basalt and other mafic iron magnesium silicate igneous rocks.<br />
<br />
'''Mantle:''' the layer below the crust that is composed of silicate rocks that are richer in iron and magnesium. The boundary between the Crust and the Mantle is the Moho (Mohorovicic discontinuity). Above the Moho are rocks containing plagioclase feldspar, below it are rocks containing no feldspars. <br />
