• Activity! Continental Convergence. 1. ) Place two sheets of paper overlapping each other. 2. ) Place 2 cm of spread out sand across where the sheets meet. 3. ) Smooth out sand. 4. ) Move one sheet (Indian Plate) 3 centimeters at at time toward the Eurasian Plate. 5. ) Record height of Mountain being formed at every 3 centimeter move. 6. ) Do not pull apart until later.
