1. Bell ringer (Tuesday:12/1/09)
Explain the movement of a divergent boundary and describe the geological features that results
Des cribe the geological features that results when divergent plates move away from each other.
Describe the geological features found at divergent boundaries.

2. Topic: Convergent boundaries chapter 10
Objective:
SWBAT describe the geological features found at convergent boundaries
To compare the geological features found at divergent and convergent boundaries
SWBAT compare the geological features found at divergent boundary and convergent boundary.

3. Convergent boundaries
Description: when tectonic plates moves towards each other
What is another term for tectonic plates?
Objective: SWBAT describe the geological features found at convergent boundaries

4. Based on what you just learned, hypothesize how mountains are formed?
Thinking time : 20 seconds
Objective: SWBAT describe the geological features found at convergent boundaries

5. Geological features: Convergent “collision” boundaries
Tectonic plates move towards each other & collide
The tectonic plates are compressed
Land is pushed upward forming mountains range
Shallow Earthquakes
When continental crust moves toward one another
Crust crumple together and rise
Objective: SWBAT describe the geological features found at convergent boundaries

6. Analogy
Come up with a picture from everyday life that you can relate with convergent boundaries colliding
Example:
Objective: SWBAT describe the geological features found at convergent boundaries

7. Examples of convergent boundary colliding
Himalayas Mountain (Asia)
Alps (Europe)
Appalachian (North America)
were formed when the Indian subcontinent collide into Asia 45 million years ago.
Objective: SWBAT describe the geological features found at convergent boundaries

8. Video clip

9. Convergent boundary of two continental plates
Convergent boundary of two continental plates. Forms ______________range. Examples: ___________,_____________, ______________
mountain
Himalayas
Alps
Appalachians
Objective: SWBAT describe the geological features found at convergent boundaries

10. Questions/clarification time

11. Double bubble: Geological Features
Note: Similarities go in the center bubbles. Differences go in the outside bubbles.
Convergent Boundary
Divergent Boundary

12. CFU: questions

13. Plate boundaries that move away from one another is?
Transform boundary
Convergent boundary
Divergent boundary

14. Which of the following is an example of a colliding convergent boundary
Mid- Atlantic ridge
San Andreas Fault
Himilayas Mountain
Mediterranean Mountain

15. Which tectonic plate collided with asia to produce the Himalayas' mountain
Nepal
Pakistan
Bangladesh
India

16. Question How are convergent collision boundaries formed?
Magma rises to the surface as plates move apart, results in mid-ocean ridges.
Oceanic lithosphere subducts (or sinks) under continental lithosphere.
Two continental lithosphere collide, neither one sinks under the other.
Two layers of lithosphere slide past each other

18. Prediction
What do you think would happen to Nepal 50 million years away from now?
