This discussion helps you meet CO 1, 2, 4 and MO 1-5.  As one of the most significant developments in geology, Plate Tectonics theory explains the dynamics of our planet. Be sure to address the following module objectives in your discussion:

  • MO 1: Explain the evidence Wegener presented to support his continental drift hypothesis.
  • MO 2: Explain the major differences between Earth’s lithosphere and asthenosphere, including the importance of each in the plate tectonics theory.
  • MO 3: Compare and contrast the three types of convergent plate boundaries, including a location where each type can be found.
  • MO 4: Explain the evidence used to support the plate tectonics theory.
  • MO 5: Describe relative movement directions and rates of major plates.

Initial Post

In your initial post, begin a scientific discussion of Plate Tectonics with references to current geologic processes and geohazards. Be sure to address the following questions and the concepts within them.

What are the implications of the Plate Tectonics processes? For example, why is the rock on the summit of Mount Everest is a marine limestone? Why is the Tibetan Plateau known as the “roof of the Earth?” Why are there Gobi and Atacama deserts?

In your post, incorporate at least 2 references to information from your textbook with citations indicating where the information is located.

A team of psychologists conducted a laboratory experiment to investigate if dancing for 5 minutes changes happiness ratings. They recruited 50 students from Psych 100B and asked them to rate on a scale of 1-7 how happy they were at the present moment, with 7 being “extremely happy.” They then asked 25 of those students to dance for five minutes, while the other 25 students
