Model Version #2.
A few weeks ago, you drew your initial idea of why Mt. St. Helens erupted. Since then, we drew a model as a class, and learned about the layers of the earth and plate tectonics. Below, draw an updated model with at least 2 new details. Include the earth layers, tectonic plates, labels, and arrows to show what forces are at work. Describe your drawing in the box.

Which idea from today would you like re-explained before we take our model assessment on Friday?

Tectonic plates
A super continent that existed 250 million years ago
Fossils and rock formations
Circular movement of the mantle caused by heating and and cooling magma
Convection currents
Evidence Wegener used to come up with the theory of plate tectonics
Pangaea
Check for understanding - match each description or example with the correct plate boundary.

When two plates are colliding / crashing
Example: Himalayan Mountains, Cascade Mountains
Example: Hawaiian Islands
Example: San Andreas Fault
When two plates are sliding against each other in opposite directions
Where a suubduction zone occurs
Where new ocean floor is created
A magma plume rising to the surface in the middle of a plate
