Tectonic Snacks Lab Resource

Hey All-Stars!

Here is the resource to go with the lab. This will help you fill in your lab packet and it will be great for when you study for your test!

Types of Plate Boundaries:

Convergent plate boundary: Where two plates come together, crust is destroyed here

Divergent plate boundary: Where two plates pull apart, crust is created here

Transform plate boundary: Where two plates slide against each other, crust is not created or destroyed here

Types of Rocks:

Igneous rocks: A type of rock that forms when molten material hardens

Metamorphic rocks: A type of rock that forms when rock undergoes heat and pressure so the rock is not melted completely but it is changed

Sedimentary rocks: A type of rock that forms when pieces of other rocks break and are compacted to form rocks

Make sure you save your lab after I return it to you!

Have fun!
