Plate Tectonics

Dive into the fascinating world of plate tectonics with engaging activities designed to enhance your understanding. Begin with a Think-Pair-Share exercise where you discuss and explore your beliefs about tectonic plates. Analyze maps showing earthquake and volcano locations to uncover patterns and relationships. Participate in video note-taking to reinforce the topic, and consider the historical movement of landmasses like India over millions of years. This comprehensive lesson will not only broaden your knowledge of geological processes but also the impact they have on Earth's geographical features.
