Mars Bar Tectonics
1. Pretend a Mars Bar is a segment of the earth. Draw a labelled diagram to show how a Mars
Bar can model plate tectonics.
1. Crack a straight line across the mars bar using your fingernail. Pull the Mars bar apart at this
line (only slightly!) so that caramel oozes out. Draw your observations and label the
geographical features that occur. Name the type of boundary your Mars Bar represents.
2. Using the same Mars Bar push the pieces back together. Draw a labelled diagram of your
observations. Name the type of boundary your Mars Bar represents.
3. You may now eat the first Mars Bar. Take out the second Mars Bar and draw a cross on it
using you finger nail. Pull one side in 1 direction and the other side in the opposite direction
such that the two plates slide past each other. Draw a labelled diagram of your observations.
Name the type of boundary your Mars Bar represents.
