Convergent (Continental/ Continental):
1. What happens to the wet ends of the graham crackers?
They formed a folded mountain range.
2. How do wet crackers act more like real plates than dry crackers?
They fold, instead of breaking.
3. What feature do the resulting ends of the wet crackers represent?
Mountains
4. Name a specific location?
The Himalayas

Transform:
1. Why is this movement often described as horizontal sliding?
The plates slide in opposite directions
2. Name a specific location?
San Andreas Fault
3. What do we call the breaking and vibrating of the Earth's crust?
Earthquakes

Conclusion Questions:
1. Divergent boundaries create crust. Seafloor spreading.
2. Continental/ Oceanic and Oceanic/Oceanic destroy crust. Subduction zone/ trenches.
