FEATURES OF PLATE MOVEMENT MPI: SWBAT communicate how the movement of the tectonic plates is used to understand geological, physical, and geographical features using models. (CO-SHS.3.3.a) Essential Question: What are the consequences of plate movement? DOL: Given MC 100% of SW communicate how the movement of the tectonic plates is used to understand geological, physical, and geographical features with 100% proficiency.

(CO-SHS.3.3.a) Essential Question: What are the consequences of plate movement? DOL: Given MC 100% of SW communicate how the movement of the tectonic plates is used to understand geological, physical, and geographical features with 100% proficiency.  What types of geological features are found at divergent boundaries?

DOL: Given MC 100% of SW communicate how the movement of the tectonic plates is used to understand geological, physical, and geographical features with 100% proficiency.  Island Arcs  Convergent boundaries  Produced through subduction  Moves with the plate  Older islands are dead or dormant volcanoes  Only new islands are directly over the lava flow  Ex: Japan

DOL: Given MC 100% of SW communicate how the movement of the tectonic plates is used to understand geological, physical, and geographical features with 100% proficiency.  Volcanoes  Convergent Boundary  As an oceanic plate subducts under a continental a volcanic mountain range is created  The continental land pushes up to mountains  The heat of subduction causes the magma to rise up inside the mountains  Ex: Rocky Mountains (ours; they’re dead)
