144POGIL®Earth and Space Science Activities | Designed to Support the NGSSStudent Activity 5Where Are Tectonic Plate Boundaries Located?Why?You know that large chunks (tectonic plates) of oceanic crust and continental crust are dragged along bymantle rock moving very slowly beneath them. How can we identify the edges of these tectonic plates ona map of the world? In this activity, we will investigate the relationships among earthquakes, volcanoesand tectonic plate boundaries as clues to the shapes and locations of tectonic plates.As you work through the following questions, be sure to follow your team role(s).Model 1—Earth Movements at Tectonic Plate Boundaries

POGIL®Earth and Space Science Activities | Designed to Support the NGSS145Student Activity 5Use the information in Model 1 to answer Questions 1–6.Reach an agreement with your team before writing down your consensus answer.1.Write the names of the two types of plate boundaries shown in Model 1.2.Describe the meaning of the symbolin Model 1.3.Describe the meaning of the symbolin Model 1.4.Fill in the empty boxes in Model 1. Use the other information in the model to help you.Read This!Volcanoes are surface features on the Earth wheremagma(molten mantle rock) erupts or haserupted through the crust to form new solid rock.Underwater volcanoeserupt throughoceanic crust.Above-ground volcanoeserupt through continental crust.
