and how scientists classify plate boundaries. This curriculum encourages students to observe, describe, and classify scientific data to learn about a scientific process. This activity is designed ...

Whatever drives the movement, plate tectonic activity takes place at four types of boundaries: divergent boundaries, where new crust is formed; convergent boundaries, where crust is consumed ...

Most geologic activity stems from the interplay ... These convergent boundaries also occur where a plate of ocean dives, in a process called subduction, under a landmass. As the overlying plate ...

The first step toward learning about plate tectonics is to learn about the Earth's interior structure. This lesson should address both of these topics. This activity is designed for one 1-hour ...

Four types of plate tectonic activity are demonstrated in this feature. Keep an eye on the map to see where in the world the activity takes place. Also known as spreading boundary, a divergent ...

In an article published in Science Advances, a collaborative team led by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) ...

Between the plates are plate boundaries and this video introduces ... impacts that they could add to their spider diagram from the activity before the video? Students could research a further ...
