Name ______________________________________ Date _________ Pre-AP Project Plate Tectonics and Landforms Climb the Ladder: Move Your Plate! Complete the activities to show what you have learned about how moving tectonic plates change and shape Earth’s surface. 1. Work on your own. 2. Choose one item from each rung of the ladder. Check your choices. 3. Submit your results by Thursday, December 11th. __ Boundary Flipbook __ Density Differences Draw a flipbook to illustrate what landforms form (type of stress and direction of motion) at different types of plate boundaries. Show a convergent boundary, a divergent boundary, and a transform boundary. Write a poem or song that explains how density differences between oceanic lithosphere and continental lithosphere affect interactions between these two types of lithosphere at convergent boundaries. __ Be a Broadcaster __ Extra! Extra! Imagine that you are a news broadcaster and that you are on location as one of the processes of plate tectonics occurs. Describe in detail what is happening as if it were breaking news. Imagine that you were able to travel back in time to the time of Pangaea. Write a newspaper article that would be published describing your experiences. __ Puzzling Terms __ Before and After Design a crossword puzzle using at least five terms of chemical and physical weathering, such as abrasion and oxidation. Create an answer key for your crossword puzzle. Choose a land feature and create a poster depicting this land feature. Divide the paper in half and draw a picture of how you think this landform probably looked 1 million years ago and on the other half draw how it looks today. Attach a note describing the changes and the causes of these changes. __ Signs of Depression __ I Just Need Some Relief! You should include at least one depressed area on your topographic map. Be sure to include the depression contours using the proper symbols. Draw a topographic map of this discovered area. Draw contour lines to connect points of equal elevation. Include enough contour lines so there are at least 3 index contours. Be sure the elevation change between each contour line is the same. Your topographic map should include an area of either high or low relief. This can be indicated through the contour intervals and lines, this is usually determined by the type of land features present in the map. Draw a topographic map of this discovered area. Draw contour lines to connect points of equal elevation. Include enough contour lines so there are at least 3 index contours. Be sure the elevation change between each contour line is the same.
