TEKS 8.9 (B) Relate plate tectonics to the formation of crustal features

ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS: -What features of Earth’s crust do convergent, divergent, and transform boundaries form? -What land features formed by the movement of tectonic plates can be observed using images from space? DAILY OBJECTIVES: Students will relate plate tectonics to the formation of crustal features, such as mountain ranges, trenches, volcanoes, earthquakes, and mid-ocean ridges.

TEKS 8.9 (B) Relate plate tectonics to the formation of crustal features

ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS: -What features of Earth’s crust do convergent, divergent, and transform boundaries form? -What land features formed by the movement of tectonic plates can be observed using images from space? DAILY OBJECTIVES: Students will relate plate tectonics to the formation of crustal features, such as mountain ranges, trenches, volcanoes, earthquakes, and mid-ocean ridges.

Use the latitudes and longitudes to create a map with the locations of different crustal features. Mountains – Green Volcanoes – Red Ridges – Blue Trenches – Pink As students work on the map, the teacher will show small groups of students convection currents using tea light candles.
