Plate tectonics explains how Earth's rigid outer plates move over the slowly flowing mantle, building volcanoes, mountains and ocean basins. There are 6 sheets for 8th grade here, each with an answer key. Hawaiian Island Ages and Plate Speed graphs volcano ages, Map Earthquake Depths Across a Subduction Zone plots 15 quakes, and Appalachian Mountains Fact File Organizer covers the collisions that formed Pangaea.
