Plate Tectonics Lab Questions Plate Tectonics Lab Questions Divergent Plate Boundary Discussion Questions 1. What happened to the frosting between the crackers? 2. What do the graham crackers represent? 3. What does the frosting represent? 4. Name a specific location on the Earth where this kind of boundary activity takes place. 5. What type of feature is produced by this movement? 6. What is the process called that creates new ocean floor from diverging plates? Divergent Plate Boundary Discussion Questions 1.

Name a specific location on the Earth where this kind of boundary activity takes place. 5. What type of feature is produced by this movement? 6. What is the process called that creates new ocean floor from diverging plates? Convergent Plate Boundary (continental & oceanic) Discussion Questions Convergent Plate Boundary (continental & oceanic) Discussion Questions 7. What happens when a tectonic plate gets subducted? 8. Name a specific location on the Earth where this kind of boundary activity takes place. 9. What features are formed on the continent along this boundary? 7. What happens when a tectonic plate gets subducted? 8. Name a specific location on the Earth where this kind of boundary activity takes place. 9. What features are formed on the continent along this boundary? Convergent Plate Boundary (continental) Discussion Questions 10. What happens to the wet ends of the graham crackers? 11. In what way do the wet crackers act more like the real crustal plates than the dry crackers? 12. What feature do the resulting ends of the wet crackers represent? 13. Name a specific location on the Earth where this type of boundary activity takes place. Convergent Plate Boundary (continental) Discussion Questions 10.

What feature do the resulting ends of the wet crackers represent? 13. Name a specific location on the Earth where this type of boundary activity takes place. Lateral (Transform) Plate Boundaries (Continental) Discussion Questions 14. Why is this movement often described as “horizontal” sliding? 15. Name a specific location on the Earth where this type of boundary activity takes place. 16. Nothing happens at the beginning, but as the pressure is increased, the crackers finally break. What do we call the breaking and vibrating of the Earth’s crust? Lateral (Transform) Plate Boundaries (Continental) Discussion Questions 14.

Nothing happens at the beginning, but as the pressure is increased, the crackers finally break. What do we call the breaking and vibrating of the Earth’s crust? Conclusion: 17. Give an example of how plate movement directly affects the construction of Earth’s surface. 18. Give an example of how plate movement directly affects the destruction of Earth’s surface.
