Name: ____________________________ Date: ______________________ Period #: _________ Plate Tectonics Lab Word Bank Ridges Trench Mountains Earthquakes Rift Valley Volcanoes Problem: What do you predict the different plate interactions shown above cause/create? Use the Word Bank provided. Hypothesis for Divergent Boundary: Hypothesis for Convergent Boundary: Hypothesis for Transform Boundary: Materials: Milky Way Candy Bar Procedure: 1. Using the Milky Way candy bar, try to recreate the three types of interactions that occur in the tectonic plates shown above, STARTING WITH CONVERGENT. 2. Draw and describe what happens in each box below. Convergent has two possibilities. Be very specific with your observations and descriptions. Convergent Divergent Transform Analysis Questions: 1. Based on what you witnessed with the Milky Way, how does a convergent boundary affect the lithosphere (crust) of the Earth? (Remember, you witnessed 2 possible outcomes above, so you should explain two effects.) 2. Based on what you witnessed with the Milky Way, how does a divergent boundary affect the lithosphere (crust) of the Earth? 3. Based on what you witnessed with the Milky Way, how does a transform boundary affect the lithosphere (crust) of the Earth? Bonus: (Feel free to use the computer ) A. Name 1 specific place on Earth where convergent boundaries are occurring. B. Name 1 specific place on Earth where divergent boundaries are occurring. C. Name 1 specific place on Earth where transform boundaries are occurring.
