1 Bellringer What is plate tectonics?

2 Agenda 1.Anticipatory Set 2.Input – notes on plate boundaries 3.Guided Practice – Team Work with white boards 4.Independent Practice – Handout 5.Closing

3 Objective After today, you will be able to define Pangaea and identify the types of plate boundaries.

4 Big Goal Connection 80% Mastery

5 4.1 Plate Tectonics Class Notes

6 250 million years ago, all the continents were connected in a landmass called Pangea.

7 Let’s practice: What was Pangea?

8 Plate Movement Earth’s crust is made of many separate pieces called tectonic plates.

9 How do the Plates move? The plates of the Earth move because of convection currents in the mantle of the earth.

10 Let’s Practice… 1. What is a tectonic plate? 2. Why do plates move?

11 Plate Boundaries The places where plates meet are called plate boundaries.

12 Divergent Boundaries At a divergent boundary tectonic plates move away from each other.

13 Let’s Practice… 1.What are plate boundaries? 2.How do plates move at a divergent boundary?

14 Convergent Boundaries At a convergent boundary tectonic plates move towards each other.

15 Transform Boundaries At a transform boundary tectonic plates slide past each other.

16 Let’s Practice… 1.Which way to plates move at a convergent boundary? 2.How do plates move at a transform boundary?

17 Guided Practice White boards

18 GP1 This is the name for a supercontinent that existed 250 million years ago.

19 GP2 The different pieces of the earth’s crust are called these. (2 words)

20 GP3 Two plates meet at this place.

21 GP4 Plate movement is caused by this.

22 GP5 Convection is located in this place.

23 GP6 Tectonic plates move together at this boundary.

24 GP7 Tectonic plates move apart at this boundary.

25 GP8 Tectonic plates move side by side at this boundary.

26 GP9 What type of boundary is this?

27 GP10 What type of boundary is this?

28 GP11 What type of boundary is this?

29 4.1 Independent Practice
