At the end of this activity, students should be able to: -- say what tectonic plates are and describe their properties -- explain why tectonic plates shift -- explain what happens in places where the edges of tectonic plates meet -- describe what divergent, convergent and transform boundaries are -- give evidence for the expansion of the ocean floor -- present the evidence for the changes in the Earth’s magnetic field in the past -- say how continents move -- give the evidence for continental drift.
