Summary: This week in class we learned about the different ways that plates move. There are four different ways that plates move. Subduction, when one plate goes under another, it can result in above ground volcanic activity. Divergent plate movements are when a plate moves away from itself, which causes underground volcanic activity. Transform boundaries are when plate move so that they brush against each other, like their slipping and sliding. Collisional boundaries are when plates crash into each other creating things like mountains.
SP2: Developing and using models
This week in class we used a gizmo online model to see how each of the plates move in different ways. It was hard to see how the transform boundary moved at first but we finally figured it out. We then used our knowledge gained from the Gizmo model to fill out a worksheet that the teacher had made for us. It was really helpful.
