Essential Question: How does Earth's composition change the landscape? Investigation Question: How do convection currents cause the movements within the lithosphere?
Investigation 2 Claim:
The uneven heating of Earth's layers causes the movement of tectonic plates through convection such as convergent (subduction) and divergent (seafloor spreading) boundaries that is either created or destroyed at a fault.
Terms:
Tectonic Plates, Divergent Boundaries, Convergent Boundaries, Seafloor Spreading, Subduction, Convection currents, faults

6. Investigation Question: How do convection currents cause the movements within the lithosphere?
Claim: The uneven heating of Earth's layers causes the movement of tectonic plates through convection such as convergent (subduction) and divergent (seafloor spreading) boundaries that is either created or destroyed at a fault.
Justification: The uneven heating of the Earth’s layers causes movement of tectonic plates because…
