Tectonic plates are pieces of the rocky outer layer of the Earth known as the crust.
Students are asked to consider what earthquakes, volcanoes, and tsunamis have in common, then read about the three types of plate movements: divergent, subduction, and lateral.
Most occur along mid-ocean ridges where new crust is added during sea floor spreading. Step-by-step teaching plan that can be modified for a variety of grade levels. Keywords: Plate tectonics, convection, earthquakes, volcanoes, subduction, models, scientific theory.
