05-31-2011 Warm-Up Turn in your Earth pictures. Write today’s date and the standard posted on the board by lab 10.

Plate Boundaries Title your paper “Plate Boundaries” 1) Draw each boundary on the slide 2) Take notes on an example of each. Boundary = like a boarder, where two things touch (like country boarders)

Convergent Boundary

Convergent Boundary 1 Oceanic - Continental Plates move toward each other Volcanoes and earthquakes (large earthquakes possible)

Convergent Boundary 1 Washington (Cascades) Chile, Argentina (Andes) Mt. Rainier, WA Mt. Huarscaran, Peru

Convergent Boundary 2 Younger oceanic – older oceanic Plates move toward each other Volcanoes and earthquakes (large earthquakes possible) Volcanic Islands

Convergent Boundary 2 Younger oceanic – older oceanic Japan, Philippines, Papua New Guinea

Convergent Boundary 3 Continental - Continental Plates toward each other Mountains and earthquakes (large earthquakes possible)

Convergent Boundary 3 Continental - Continental India (Himalayas)

divergent Boundary

Divergent (makes ocean floor) Plates move away from other Small “volcanoes” and earthquakes (shallow earthquakes)

Divergent (makes ocean floor) Mid-Atlantic Ridge (Atlantic Ocean, Iceland, East Africa)

06-01-2011 Warm-Up List the plate boundaries we talked about yesterday. Be able to name 1 example of each.

Transform Boundary

Transform

California, San Andreas Fault Along side divergent boundaries too Transform California, San Andreas Fault Along side divergent boundaries too

Edible Plate Tectonics Follow the directions at your table. Draw a picture of and write down the name of each boundary type the activity represents. Use the computer or a map to name a real life example of where each of these plate boundaries occur. http://geology.com/plate-tectonics.shtml
