We are learning about the surface of the Earth and today we observed how plates move on the magma layer under the plates. There are 7 main tectonic plates and several small ones. They move very slowly, and there are three ways in which they move.<\/p>\n

1. away from each other- divergent boundary<\/p>\n

2. towards each other – convergent boundary<\/p>\n

3. slide side by side – transform boundary<\/p>\n

We made these movements using corn flour with food colouring for the magma, and crackers for the plates. We described each movement as we moved the crackers.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
