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:

The lab showed me that convection moves Earth’s plates and that plate interactions change the surface. Divergent boundaries can form new crust, convergent boundaries can form volcanoes, mountains, and trenches, and transform boundaries can cause earthquakes.
