In the lab, I observed how convection moves Earth's

plates. I also saw how plates interact with each other.

When plates move apart from each other at divergent

boundaries, magma from the mantle reaches Earth's

surface and new crust forms. When plates move toward

each other at convergent boundaries, volcanoes,

mountains, and trenches form. When the plates rub

against each other at transform boundaries,

earthquakes may occur. Plate movements may change

the shape of Earth's surface and cause geologic events

such as earthquakes.

Which of these ideas did you include in your answer?

Check all that apply.

Convection currents move Earth's plates.

Plates interact with each other at plate boundaries,

The interaction of plates may cause the formation of features like volcanoes that change Earth's surface.
