Piecing Together the Plates by Lisa McCready

What We’ve Discovered… Our Earth is covered with plates The borders between the plates are also known as “ ” There are three main types

Oceanic vs. Continental Oceanic vs. Oceanic “ ” What happens here? CONVERGENT

DIVERGENT In the Oceans On the Continents What happens here?

TRANSFORM What happens here?

What are Plates? Type of CrustAverage ThicknessAverage AgeMajor Component Continental Crust20-80 kilometers 3 billion years Granite Oceanic Crust 10 kilometers Generally 70 to 100 million years old Basalt

Activity Time Map the 15 most well known plates Discover their names Figure out some boundary types Develop a phrase to help you remember the plate names
