How did the lab activities help you answer the lesson question: What effect does plate movement have on geologic events and structures at Earth’s surface? What did you learn from conducting this lab?

Answer:

I learned that convection currents move Earth’s plates and that plate interactions shape the surface and cause geologic events. At divergent boundaries, new crust can form; at convergent boundaries, mountains, volcanoes, and trenches can form; and at transform boundaries, earthquakes may occur.
