upper mantle make up the lithosphere. The lithosphere is divided into
individual sections called plates. The rest of the mantle makes up the
asthenosphere. Convection in asthenosphere causes the plates to shift and
move about. We can tell where the plates are or have been because
volcanoes and earthquakes have their own boundaries when the are active.
Tectonic plates have three relationships with each other. The have
convergent boundaries when they collide, divergent boundaries when they
move apart, and transform boundaries when they slide past each other. The
friction and heat caused by the plates sliding all over the place causes
volcanoes if it melts the rock and earthquakes if the plates slip while sliding
then we stuck the tacks through designated holes. With everything in tact
of gravity's what really moves the plates of the earth. The model doesn't
us understand the different plates and how they work. The model is a great
important to see all of the plates to fully understand the plate tectonic
The lab was to construct a model showing the different kinds of boundaries.
