TECTONIC PLATE BOUNDARIES

OBSERVATIONAL MODEL LAB
Today you will choose one of the 3 plate boundaries to make a model.

BOUNDARY MODEL

  • Join my google classroom
  • Code: 1gk3j5b
  • This video and other links will be there.
  • Today we will model tectonic plate movements and the landforms they create
FIRST:
Join my google classroom class using your chromebook.

You will need to take and upload pictures when you submit your assignment. I will show you how.

I will put some of the good ones in our class dojo page

BOUNDARY MODELS

  • Materials:
  • 2 cups of Play doh
  • Sticky notes
  • Toothpicks
  • Paper
  • Student guide and student journal
  • Scissors
Also needed :

your Chromebook for research and picture taking
Colored pencils
Creativity
Good attitude 😀
4.

LABEL IT

Use toothpicks and cut up sticky notes to make your flag labels for your model


Only make the labels for the type of model you make. Don't make them all.

TECTONIC PLATE BOUNDARIES

Where plates meet, the earth reacts
You need to recognize these three types of tectonic plate boundaries and
What type of land is created at each one.

1. CONVERGENT BOUNDARY

TWO TECTONIC PLATES COLLIDING
The oceanic plate (Lithosphere) slides under (SUBDUCTS) the continental crust, recycling crust into the mantle 🔥🔥 and creating
OCEAN TRENCH, and VOLCANO

Volcano produced on land
Oceanic trench (deep valley) made under ocean off the coast

Example: pacific coast of Chile in South America

Untitled Slide

A large flat OCEAN BASIN is created as plates pull apart.

An OCEAN RIDGE (mountain range) is formed as magma pushes up through the boundary and creates NEW CRUST

Plates sliding create friction and potential energy......then

EARTHQUAKES

Most earthquakes occur at plate boundaries
The most violent earthquakes on Earth occur at tectonic plate boundaries.

PINK - PACIFIC PLATE
Green - North American plate

going in opposite directions
21.

Transform boundary
POTENTAL ENERGY stores up as plates grind against each other due to stress and friction.

When the tension is released, an earthquake occurs.
22.

Continental plate ↖️ --------------↘️ continental crust
Labels:

1. Earthquake Zone
2. Friction / Potential Energy

(can you create more?) Look at pictures of transform boundaries in google images
23.

FINISH YOUR STUDENT SHEET

  • Make sure you can identify the 3 plate boundaries
  • Identify the land formations that occur at the plate boundaries
