Plate Tectonics

Warm Up 1-22-13 Ending Date: 1-25-13 Write down everything you know about tectonic plates.

Think, Pair Share THINK: Think about what you believe plate tectonics are. PAIR: Turn to your partner. Discuss what you believe plate tectonics are. Try to come up with a common understanding. Be prepared to share it with the class. SHARE: When called on, come up to the board and write what you think plate tectonics are.

PLATE TECTONICS

Looking at Maps… http://www.teachersdomain.org/asset/ess05_int_tectonic/ Take a sheet of paper out. Write your name in the top right hand corner.

Quick Write #1 Where are most of the earthquakes located? What can we conclude by looking at this map? Think—Write down your thoughts Pair—30 seconds after Mrs. Smith says to Share—Quick Whip

Quick Write #2 What do you notice about the locations of volcanoes? What do their locations have in common with the earthquakes? What is a possible explanation of this pattern? Think—Write down your thoughts Pair—30 seconds after Mrs. Smith says to Share—Quick Whip

Quick Write #3 What do plate tectonics have in common with volcanoes and earthquakes? What can you predict about plate tectonics? Think—Write down your thoughts Pair—30 seconds after Mrs. Smith says to Share—Quick Whip
