6th Science - Pre AP and On-Level
We will / Objective: describe how plate tectonics causes major geologic events, such as ocean basins,
earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and mountain building.
I will /Task: complete notes regarding plate boundaries and crustal features formed at these particular
boundaries.
Activity: Finish Plate Boundary/Crustal Features Notes
Assessment: Plate Boundary/Crustal Features Notes
High Level Questions: What are divergent, convergent, and transform movements of Earth’s tectonic
plates? How does the type of crust affect convergent boundary movement?
Homework: None
