My pre-knowledge of plate tectonics before this chapter was very little. I understood that plates move by certain natural occurrences on earth's surface, but anything beyond that I had really no understanding of.
After discussing plate tectonics, I understand that there are four different types of plate boundaries. As a teacher, I think that one of the best ways to explain or model plate tectonics is by using graham crackers and frosting as we did in class. For example, this is a perfect model of divergent plate boundaries using graham crackers and frosting.
This is a perfect example of a divergent plate boundary when two plates move away from each other.
