0707.7.5 and 0707.7.6

Can I explain why lithospheric plates on the scale of continents and oceans continually move at rates of centimeters per year?

Am I able to describe the relationship between plate movements and earthquakes, mountain building, volcanoes, and sea floor spreading?

Copy this chart into your SN. If you finish a station early, work on filling out what you have learned!

Plate Tectonics Brain Pop

Plate Tectonics

Plate Tectonics Stations

You will have 12 minutes at each station. We will complete 2 stations per day. Make sure to fill in every spot on lab sheet that has a blank. Jobs:

A- Read all instructions at every station. B- Time Keeper- Let your group know how much time is left every few

minutes. C-Task Force- Keep everyone on task. D-Errand Runner- Your job is to come get me if your group get's

stuck.

Transform Boundaries

Type of boundary: Transform

Example(s): California's San Andreas fault

Effect(s): No lithosphere is created or destroyed, but sometimes the energy is released as an earthquake

Transform BoundarySan Andreas Fault

Draw two arrows describing the motion of plates at a transform boundary.

On which physical layer do lithospheric plates move?

What is one event that can occur at a transform boundary?

Convergent Boundaries

Type of Boundary: Convergent

Example(s): Cascade Mountain Range

Effect(s): Mountains (plates are pushed together), trenches (one plate is subducted, or bent down under the other), volcanoes (magma rises at subduction zones and finds its way to the surface)
