The earth sure has its share of ups and downs and ins and outs! Choose one of three creative projects to display your knowledge of the hows, whys, and whats of the different plates and their effects!
It's the earth's tectonic plates! Explore the three different types of plate tectonics — divergent, convergent, and transform boundaries — and compare how they're similar and different.
Revisit the fascinating world of plate tectonics and explore how divergent boundaries create new crust, how convergent boundaries cause collisions and subduction, and how transform boundaries create earthquakes.
Gain an even deeper understanding of the dynamic and ever-changing nature of the earth's crust and how the movement of its plates has shaped the world you live in
There are three main types of tectonic plate movements: convergent, divergent, and transform.
Plate tectonics shape the earth’s surface and create natural disasters. Due to their effect on the earth, humans in certain parts of the world must make accommodations to their lives based on these boundaries.
Review these boundaries using the Graphic Organizer - Triple Venn Diagram from Downloadable Resources in the right-hand sidebar.

After you have completed the Venn diagram, take a look at the image below.
