Tectonic Plates Experiment

In Science we are learning about layers of the Earth and tectonic plates. We made an experiment to understand what happens when tectonic plates move.

Convergent movement: tectonic plates push into each other and they cause EARTHQUAKES, VOLCANOES, MOUNAINS

Divergent movement: tectonic plates pull apart and they cause EARTHQUAKES and OCEAN FLOOR.

Transforming movement: tectonic plates sledge into each other and they cause EARTHQUAKES

In the experiment cookies represent tectonic plates and the cream represent the litosphere.

 

Here you have some pictures:
