LAB – OREO TECTONICS
DIRECTIONS: Follow the step-by-step procedure taped to your desk. Do NOT eat until you have completed all the
drawings and I have signed off on your work! No oreos = no initials = no credit!
1.
Define the theory of plate
tectonics.
2.
Define asthenosphere.
3.
List the three main types of
plate interactions.
4.
Draw a picture of your Oreo cookies
representing sliding over asthenosphere.
6. Draw a picture of your Oreo cookies representing
a divergent boundary.
5.
Draw a picture of your Oreo cookies
representing a convergent boundary.
7.
Draw a picture of your Oreo cookies
representing a transform boundary.
