Learning Objectives

• Students can describe the geologic processes, the relative movement of plates, and the distinguishing landforms associated with each type of plate boundary 
• Students can describe the evolution of landforms and geologic structures in the context of constructive and/or destructive geologic processes
• Students can relate tectonic stresses to plate boundaries, geologic structures, crustal deformation, and the building of mountains
  
• Distinguish between the terms tectonic plate (plate), plate boundary, and plate tectonics
• Recognize Earth’s major surface features
• Identify the layers of Earth
• Locate plate boundaries on Earth's surface
• Identify the source of energy for plate tectonics 
• Explain the connection between plate tectonics and constructive and destructive geologic processes
• Describe some of the evidence used to show the continents and tectonic plates move 
• Recognize the difference between the hypothesis of continental drift and the theory of plate tectonics
• Use algebraic equations to calculate rates, distances, and times
