Last week we learned about the layering of the Earth due to density and composition, and heat and convection inside the Earth leading to movement of plates. Where these plate meet and interact is known as a boundary. There are convergent boundaries, divergent boundaries, and transform boundaries.
Where do we find these boundaries?
What formations do we find at each boundary?
What is going on beneath the Earth's crust at this boundary?
How do we know?
This week we watched the video Earth's Catastrophic Past(follow the link, there is a preview there of almost all of what we watched). From the video answer: How do we collect evidence of the formation continents and oceans?
Contract Week 2 has you modeling a boundary or researching and predicting the future for our well known hotspots (Yellowstone and Hawaii) or our well know transform boundary (San Andreas).
