Tectonic Plates Boundary Envelopes Part 1 Tectonic Plates

Tectonic Plates Boundary Envelopes

Part 1: Tectonic Plates Boundary Envelopes ● Construct the three envelopes as shown in class and glue them into your notebook. ○ Look at example on board if needed ● On each envelope draw and color what each boundary looks like. Add arrows showing direction of movement. ● Make a key (like the one below) to represent what each color card will represent. ● KEY General Information / Locations Features Events

Part 2: Pink Cards - General Information / Locations Directions: 1. Cut out the 10 pink general information cards. 2. Use Google/Notes/Textbook/PPTs/etc. to determine which boundary the information describes and write it in pencil on the BACK of the card. Example: FRONT of card BACK of card Plates that come together, or collide convergent

Plates that come together, or collide The Great Rift Valley in Africa occurs on land at this plate boundary The Himalayan mountains and Mt. Everest can be found at this plate boundary Plates slide by each other Plates that move away from one another, or The San Andreas Fault in California is on this divide type of plate boundary Mid-ocean ridge and seafloor spreading happen at this plate boundary +

Part 3: Blue Cards - Features What are features? ● Features are formations/structures that are created as a result of plate movement at each boundary. Directions: 1. Cut out the 10 blue features cards. 2. Use Google/Notes/Textbook/PPTs/etc. to determine which boundary the feature forms at and write it in pencil on the BACK of the card. 3. Some features may happen at more than one boundary. You may need to make duplicate cards.

Features - KEY Fault CONVERGENT Fault DIVERGENT Fault TRANSFORM Ocean trench CONVERGENT Mountain Ranges CONVERGENT Island Arcs CONVERGENT Mid-ocean Ridges DIVERGENT Volcanoes CONVERGENT Rift Valleys DIVERGENT

Part 4: Yellow Cards - Events What are events? ● Events are the result of plate movement at each boundary. Directions: 1. Cut out the 10 yellow features cards. 2. Use Google/Notes/Textbook/PPTs/etc. to determine which boundary the feature forms at and write it in pencil on the BACK of the card. 3. Some features may happen at more than one boundary. You may need to make duplicate cards.

Events - KEY Subduction CONVERGENT Uplifting CONVERGENT Earthquakes CONVERGENT Slab Pull CONVERGENT Volcanic Eruptions CONVERGENT Seafloor Spreading DIVERGENT Ridge Push DIVERGENT Earthquakes DIVERGENT Volcanic Eruptions DIVERGENT Earthquakes TRANSFORM

What are Hotspots? Directions: 1. Research information about hotspots. 2. Answer the following questions in your notebook. a. What is a hotspot? b. What is the connection between hotspots and plate boundaries? c. Where are they located? d. Include at least two additional facts about hotspots.

Research information about the following statement: Statement: “At a divergent boundary, crust is created, but not recycled” Directions: Use the internet to find a piece of evidence to support this statement. ***Your answer should also go in your notebook***

DO NOT LOSE YOUR CARDS AND ENVELOPES!!!!! **Make sure all cards go in the correct pocket according to which plate boundary it is describing!!!**
