  1. Tuesday 2/19/19

  2. How does convection in the mantle affect the crust?

  3. My Planet Diary Will your state capital be father from London in 30 million years?

  4. Lithosphere Pieces = Plates

  5. Earth’s Plates Meet at Boundaries

  6. Scientific Theory • A scientific theory is an well developed explanation of some part of the natural world. • It must be based on a large amount of evidence that has been repeatedly confirmed through observation and experiment.

  7. Theory of Plate Tectonics • Earth’s crust is broken up into pieces called plates. • Earth’s plates are in slow, constant motion. • Convection currents in the mantle cause the motion.
