Look carefully at your completed jigsaw. It

shows the major plate boundaries.

Using a RED pencil make the plate

boundaries clearly

KEY CONCEPT Plates converge or scrape past each other.plates move apart. At convergent boundaries, where plates push together, crust is either folded or destroyed. When two plates

Continental Drift. Plate Tectonics The lithospheric plates float on top of the liquid asthenosphere. This causes the plates to move around slowly
