What is tectonics? Tectonics is the study of the movement of the Earth’s crust. The slow movement of the mantle moves the crust which sits on top of.

Tectonic Plate Boundaries Where plates collide!

Three Types Transform Boundary: plates scrape past each other in opposite directions Divergent Boundary: plates move apart Convergent Boundary: plates push together

DRAW ME PLEASE!

Come and circle…

DIVERGENT BOUNDARY

Find: San Andreas, Great Rift Valley, Himalayas

Don’t forget… The crust is made of two parts. Oceanic Crust Continental Crust These two types of crust can interact in a variety of ways.

Focus on Convergent Boundaries Continental – Continental: Continental – Oceanic Oceanic - Oceanic

MOVING PLATES Option 1 Option 2 Foldable of the three types of converging boundaries Include: which plate is denser, which plate subducts, what landforms are created, and real world examples Option 2 PowerPoint with same info as above Topography Paper – How are landforms created?
