How do the Plates Interact With Each Other?
For the quiz, you should be able to show relationships among the words listed below. You will be asked to complete a mind map showing how different concepts are related (with connecting words and images.) You may use words more than once or draw arrows showing connections.
Types of Boundaries: Convergent Boundary: two kinds, subduction and mountain building. Divergent Boundary: Sea Floor Spreading and Transform
Processes associated with Plate interactions: Sea Floor Spreading, Mountain Building, Crumpling, Mid Ocean Ridge formation, Subduction
Effects of plate movement: Earthquakes, Volcanoes, Oceanic Trenches, Ocean Ridges, Fault
Locations of different boundary types: San Andreas Fault (transform), Marianas Trench (subduction), Mid Atlantic Ridge (divergent)
You should know that Continental Plate is thicker and less dense than the oceanic plate and this accounts for certain types of plate movement.
To study for this quiz, you should use your SN, for lesson 5, the data table on page 36, and perhaps make a rough draft of a mind map using these terms.. Notes will not be permitted during the quiz. There is an app called inspiration on your iPads that you could explore to study as well. See me if you don’t know how to use it.
