Plate tectonics


Over the last few days we have been learning about plate tectonics. These plates float on flowing magma and there are multiple ways they can interact with each other. These interactions are divergent (two plates separating), convergent (two plates colliding), and transform (two plates sliding past each other). We chose to write about an article about the recent earthquake in Japan. This earthquake was caused by two convergent oceanic plates which shocked Japan and created a tsunami and an earthquake.
