  1. Theory of Plate Tectonics

  2. Buddy Questions (start near text page132)1. Examine the diagram2. Define the parts

  3. 1. Look at the maps on text page 136-137. How have the continental maps changed from 225 million years ago until today?2. Use crayons or markers. Sketch and label the lithospheric plates on pages 134-135. 3. What role does magma play in the movement of plates?4. Look on text page 119. What was Wegner’s Theory of Continental Drift?

  4. 4. Look on text page 119. What was Wegner’s Theory of Continental Drift?5. How did Wegener use fossils to support his theory?6. Why did scientists reject this theory?7. With your group, begin WB pages 46-47. Then do 50-51.
