1 Edible Plate Tectonics You all get one Oreo. Don’t eat it yet! Don’t do anything with it yet, just look at it with amazement, because what you are looking at is….. The earth!

2 TECTONICS: From the Greek “tecton” builder architect The study of large features on Earth’s surface and the processes that formed them.

3 PLATE TECTONICS: Large features… continents ocean basins mountain ranges and processes… earthquakes volcanic eruptions due to movement of plates of Earth’s outer shell.

13 Oreo plate tectonics These four plate tectonic processes shape the earth and its landscapes in different ways: Divergent plate boundaries Transform plate boundaries Hot spots

15 Now…. carefully remove the top biscuit WITHOUT BREAKING IT! Once it is removed, you have to break it IN HALF. Try to make the two halves similar in size.
