How do Earth’s plates move?
1. Draw and label a diagram to communicate what happens when tectonic
plates move apart. Use a label to show what forms between them. Add
arrows to show plate movement.
Diagrams may vary. Arrows should show plates moving in opposite directions and new
lithosphere forming between them.
2. Draw and label a diagram to communicate what happens when tectonic
plates push together. Use a label to show what forms between them. Add
arrows to show plate movement.
Diagrams will vary. Arrows should show plates moving toward each other and buckling
upward to form a mountain between them.
3. Draw and label a diagram to communicate what happens when tectonic
plates stick together as they slide past each other. Add arrows to show
plate movement.
Diagrams will vary. Arrows should show plates sliding past each other. Labels should show
where boundaries stick and indicate it as a possible earthquake location.
