JUNE 8, 2020 LEARNING TARGET: I CAN IDENTIFY THE PLATE BOUNDARIES OF TECTONIC PLATES. CRITERIA FOR SUCCESS 1. DESCRIBE WHERE TECTONICS PLATES ARE FOUND 2. IDENTIFY DIFFERENCES BETWEEN PLATE BOUNDARIES

THEORY OF PLATE TECTONICS -Lithosphere = crust + upper mantle/ broken into large pieces -Broken pieces of lithosphere = tectonic plates - Theory of Plate Tectonics = Earth's surface, the lithosphere, is broken into large pieces which move w/ respect to each other, carrying pieces of continental + oceanic crust https: //www. youtube. com/watch? v=et 0 Dc.

WHY DO TECTONIC PLATES MOVE? • Tectonic plates move due to convection currents caused by heat in core + mantle. • convection currents = movement / fluids caused / differences in temp. that transfers heat / one part / fluid to another HOT Hot material rises+ cooler material sinks HOTTER https: //www. youtube. com/watch? v=f 8 GK 2 o.

Plates boundary = where 2 plates meet DIVERGENT BOUNDARY CONVERGENT BOUNDARY = PLATES SEPARATE = PLATES COLLIDE TRANSFORM BOUNDARY = PLATE SLIDE PAST EACH OTHER

SUMMARY • The lithosphere is broken into over 10 large pieces of rock called tectonic plates. Tectonic plates slowly move due to convection currents taking place in the mantle. They move in three directions from each other.

CLASSWORK: COMBINE THE SENTENCES INTO ONE COMPLETE SENTENCE. 1. The lithosphere is made up of the upper mantle and crust broken into large pieces. The large pieces of the lithosphere are called tectonic plates. 2. There are three types of plate boundaries. The plate boundaries are divergent, convergent and transform. They move in different directions. **Challenge: Try to create a sentence with an appositive. **
