Document Summary
Pre-lab questions: you find a fossil of a land-dwelling organism that lived 250 million years ago in india. I would expect to find the fossils in both places because at one point all continents formed one landmass: describe how gravity can make tectonic plates move. These earthquakes are caused by the plates sliding past one another. The paste represents the magma underneath the continental crust. This relates to plate movement because the plates float on the magma and move according to the faults: describe what occurred to the styrofoam when you pushed india and eurasia together. Give the generic name as well as the name specific to the region. When i pushed india and eurasia together, the styrofoam came together and formed a peak. This formed a mountain like the himalayas: describe what occurred to the styrofoam when you pulled the mid atlantic ridge apart.
