Last Day before Rube is due

Finish up about movement at plate boundaries

Due this week

• Rube Goldberg project tomorrow

• Test on the earth and plate tectonics Thursday

• Review of rubes Friday or next Tuesday

Big Questions

• Why and how did the continents move?

• What is plate tectonics

All but the calculations typed, printed neatly

Equations needed

Use a value to the nearest tenth

Plate Boundary motion

• Wrap up exercise

• Review if needed

Types of Plate Boundaries

Question on Homework
