Tectonic Plates Come In Two FlavorsOceanic Plates are thinner and denserThey are represented by your fruit roll up pieces

Continental plates are thicker and less denseThey are represented by your graham crackers

Tectonic Plates Can Interact in Three Basic WaysConvergent Boundaries converge or come together

Divergent Boundaries diverge or move apart

Transform Boundaries slide past each other

We will model these interactions with our food
