    Study Notes

    Tectonic Plate Boundaries

    • Earth's tectonic plates move at a rate of a few centimeters per year.
    • The movement of plates forms boundaries which can be categorized into three types: divergent, convergent, and transform fault.
    • Divergent boundaries occur where two plates move apart.
    • Convergent boundaries occur where two plates collide.
    • Transform fault boundaries occur where two plates slide past each other.
    • The Mid-Atlantic Ridge is the longest mountain range in the world, formed by a divergent boundary.
    • The Mid-ocean ridge system connects all the world's oceans.

    Activity 1: Model of Plate Boundaries

    • Materials for the activity include: wax paper, tape, plastic knife or spoon, all-purpose cream, two squares of ham, and graham crackers.

    Activity 4: Find The Boundary On The Map!

    • The direction of the arrows on the map indicates the movement of the plates.
    • Identify the plates that lie on the divergent, convergent, and transform boundaries.

    Bookwork Exercise 1.2

    • Complete the exercise on page 25.
