1. Understanding Plate Boundaries
Transform, divergent, and convergent boundaries

2. 4/29/14
Plate Boundaries
Key Question: How are earthquakes and volcanoes helpful in finding plate boundaries?
Initial Thoughts:

3. Evidence 1: Mapping Plate Boundaries
Paste the map into your journal
Follow the procedure in the handout to use the earthquake and volcano data to map the plate boundaries.

4. Boundary 1

5. Boundary 2

6. Label the plates on your map

7. Draw in arrows to show the direction the plates are moving

8. Evidence 2: Article & Table
Paste the table into your journal Read the class copy of the article and fill out the table. Goal: To understand the 3 different kinds of plate boundaries.

9. Analysis Questions
Describe 2 ways in which the movement of plates can result in the formation of mountains.
Using the map from the last lesson, between which plates can you find
A transform boundary
A divergent boundary
A convergent boundary
What is the relationship between volcanoes, earthquakes,and plate boundaries?

10. Summary
What did you think about boundaries before this lesson? What did you learn about boundaries from this lesson? (Minimum of 3 sentences!!!) What are some further thoughts or questions you have about boundaries?

11. Reflection
Sketch the 3 types of boundaries, and show how they move using arrows

12. Big Idea
Mountains, volcanoes, and earthquakes are found along plate boundaries.
