Convection in the mantle

Our investigation today led us to discover how convection cells work within the mantle. We now can see/understand what causes the crust (plates) to move. Over the next few days we will learn more about movement along the plate boundaries.

Homework tonight:

• Period 1: Complete worksheet on plate boundaries
• Period 2 and 4: Finish 16.1 Reflection questions

Also start studying/reviewing your notes on continental drift. plate tectonics and earth's layers. You will be having a test on Tuesday, November 24!!
