Written by Adi Ackerman, Head Teacher

Plate tectonics is the idea that Earth's outer layer is broken into plates that move, and it explains earthquakes, mountains and ocean floors. There are 6 sheets for 7th grade here, each with an answer key. Seismic Waves Reveal Earth's Interior and Seafloor Age and Magnetic Stripe Evidence work from evidence, while Continental Collision and the Himalayas and Andes Mountain Range Fact File Organizer study mountains. Earthquake Hazard Maps and Probability and Classify Boundaries From Plate Motion Arrows complete the set. Four sheets practice MS-ESS2-2, MS-ESS2-3 or MS-ESS3-2.
