Volcanoes and Earth Movements 3rd grade
Why do things like this happen? mt st helens eruption 1980
Tectonic plates Earth’s crust is not all connected It is made up up large pieces called “tectonic plates” these pieces float on the mantle
The plates are smashing into, pulling apart, and sliding past each other all the time
Plates sliding past each other send shock waves through the crust that we call earthquakes buildings swaying in earthquake :45-1:45
Volcanoes Sometimes, magma (molten rock) from deep in the earth shoots up through the earth’s crust When it reaches the earth’s surface, we call it lava Lava piles up and forms volcanoes
Can you model plate tectonics with cookies? 1) plates moving apart 2) plates moving together 3) plates sliding past each other
Correct models: understand this
