DO NOW V: 0 Friday 12/12 In your INB, answer the following: Describe how convection works? How does convection create tectonic plate movement?

TEKS 8.9 (A) describe the historical development of evidence that supports plate tectonic theory 8.9 (B) relate plate tectonics to the formation of crustal features

ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS: DAILY OBJECTIVES: What was the early theory of continental drift; who developed it, and when was it developed? What were the discoveries that led to a theory of plate tectonics, and when were these discoveries made? How and why does the Earth’s surface change? DAILY OBJECTIVES: Students will demonstrate mastery of TEK 8.9 A and B.
